I peed in bottles (while driving) for fear that I would miss the date I was driving to (and already late).
Maybe I should write an article on brutal conditions of city living and online dating to get people to feel sorry for me.
If you don't want a job at Amazon's shit hole warehouse, then why the fuck do you go in everyday? At least their putting your dumbass to meaningful production sinve obviously you are too stupid to work anywhere else.
But there was some music I paid for online because I liked the sound.
It's awesome that I'm able to support artists and creators across the globe and make a difference in someone's life (as they made a difference in mine).
Transaction cost? 1 cent with Bitcoin Cash. They kept $1.99
The word I should have used is Robbery. Not theft.
Readthe founding father's of US constitution for their thoughts on this kind of income tax.
In fact, Income Tax was promised to be temporary to fund war efforts. Liars.
Any compulsory demand to give up your labor and property at the threat of being locked in a cage, or killed is straight up robbery.
Also, your comment is Statist because we do not have a relationship to the "government". We have a relationship to the men with guns that show up at your door when you do not compulsorily give up 40% of your labor and property.
It is the government that is threatening force (fines, jailtime) if the company/people do not hand over a portion of their hard earned cash.
These same thieves/politicians are the ones that wrote the laws and made these exceptions.
The companies are under an obligation to their families, employees, suppliers, shareholders, and the community at large to maximize value.
Or so you think that a government committee could build a cheaper, better, nicer iPhone?
Do you think a group of bureaucrats would make a cheaper, better, more efficient Tesla Vehicle?
We laugh at this, because we know the government is a bunch of people that on the whole have never employed people and created value from launching their own businesses. They do not know how to maximize wealth creation.
Why do we think that the government raking in Billions more is going to be put to create better, faster, cheaper and more efficient goods ands and services than a company like Tesla, Apple or Amazon?
Here's what's going to happen:
Billions will be raked in. And billions will be spent on duds. Look at Canada spending 1B on a scheduling app that got scrapped because government workers didn't give a shit.
Look at US gov spending on the billion dollar website.
The money will go to the pockets of more lobbyists, politicians, and will flow back to the companies.... and less quality service will be delivered , and at a higher price.
These companies employ so many people (who pay income tax from said revenues) and all kinds if intermediate taxes are paid in acquisition, and distribution of raw materials to final product to the door of the customer.
Quite literally a $700 iPhone would cost less than $200 had the government not levied/taken profits at each step from:
Land development, ore mining, glass and silicon manufacturing, assembly, distribution, packaging, shipping.
And then they want to stifle growth further and take a 3% cut of gross revenues?
I'm all for their cut during trade and VAT (20%!) But taking your hard earned profits to spend in wasteful ways while lining the surveillance communist state's pockets via broken and inefficient products is disgusting.
This will not end well. The EU is well on it's path to full blown centrally planned totalitarianism and communist level controls. You will see.
