Cant imagine making 30 k a year and having to pay even 1600 in taxes. This is saying it will increase that much.

TIL Americans earning 30k per year pay less tax (over $4k) than Australians earning the same amount. After this change it might be slightly more
Yeah, but Americans get pretty much nothing for their tax money compared to us, and republicans have been trying to bring it down to literally nothing for decades.
For real? I feel like we get nothing
Oh boy, go to the states and hurt yourself and go into a hospital. Or try being unemployed for 6 months. Or go to uni without millionaire parents. What we get for our taxes has gotten significantly worse in my lifetime, and the LNP are working on bringing us into line with the states, but trust me, we get a shitload more for our tax money than they do.
It is worth noting that almost all Americans pay other taxes. Federally there’s also social security and Medicare taxes.
At the state level almost every state also has an income tax, and some states like Pennsylvania also have a local county tax. Others have things like personal property tax (Missouri) or other more targeted taxes on specific services.
Oh yeah very much the same here too. Medicare levy being one extra tax we pay at tax time. GST, stamp duty on cars and houses, council rates, etc
Fair enough!
how do you go about trying to justify this?
Congress: “We work for the millionaires, not you peasants.”
But exactly what America voted for.
About a third of the electorate voted for.
What you need? How dare you be so impudent, plebe? Now throw yourself into the dirt before the king!
