Tax write offs, problem solved. Are zoomers that stupid?

>it's an "underage faggots who don't understand economy" episode

Prize money is taxed in the US effectively the same way as money won from the lottery or a sweepstakes. It's not exactly 50%, but it's close.

>All of the earning now belong to the government
No, just a portion of them. You enjoyed the luxuries of taxation for years, I don't think it's unfair.

Then his parents would have the 1.5 million in taxes.

that's how you get Gary Coleman and Macaulay Culkin

Haha well that’s Uncle Sam for you sonny, thanks to you paying your fair share of taxes we will be able to finally complete that undocumented Immigrant refugee center!

You'd rather have no defence and capitulate to North Korea?

You definitely showed them kiddos with your greentext showing you know LITERALLY no more than the people you are attempting to make fun of.

>was very hard
Aww, how cute, the little boy is learning how the world works. That's adorable.

Meh, young people vote for higher taxes, you don't get to complain about it

Because the government had nothing to do with that prize?

>Able to earn money because the Government created an environment that allows you to make money and not live in a third world wasteland
>Not getting a portion of your earnings

pretty unfair seeing as grossly rich people tend to pay fucking nothing in taxes.

Prize money should be taxed if you make a career out of what you won.

Which is a portion of them, good job

I'd rather build a bunker and stock up on guns to defend myself using the money the government has stolen from me over the years.

For gambling in many countries the winnings is not taxed, rather the initial stake is.
So millions pay tax on the lottery tickets and the winner gets the prize tax free.

What would happen if you could choose where the tax you pay goes to?

Elderly care, road repair, city cleanup, military etc.

All income, in any form, is taxed.

ok big guy

But they also pay taxes, user. How is it unfair they also enjoy the luxuries of taxation?
Should only the middle class enjoy the benefits? That's retarded

A. it's know and B. you ended your sentence with a preposition, so you're not in any way, shape, or form allowed to criticize what I actually got correct. Now, go mooch off the government some more, you filthy NEET.

amazing how this kid managed to live his whole life never using government built roads, government funded schools, never using the internet (created by the US military)

He drove into the stadium on roads and infrastructure not paid for by him or built by him. Do you want to start having to pay to walk the sidewalk user? Because thats why taxes exist. I dont doubt the percentage might be fucked up but I sure support taxing him for it.

I need muh roads so i'm gonna keep paying taxes

> You enjoyed the luxuries of taxation for years
how do you know that hes israeli?

so it seems to me like it'd be the same amount, just taxed pre winnings and not post winnings,

Maybe you shouldn't believe everything Twitter and your commie friends say.
Rich people pay such an insane amount of taxes they resort to avoiding them (like non rich people also do), even if they dodges most taxes they'd probably still given more to the system than you'll give in your lifetime.

Could have fooled me. Since we are trillions in debt and most of that would be dealt with in the grossly rich payed appropriate taxes.

Call George Washington, I'll pay the taxes to him.

>But they also pay taxes, user.

Like what? 20%

50%? Federal taxes on gambling only go up to 24%. That's nuts.

But 50% rate is insane.

Not like they couldn't afford it or anything.
Every time they avoid it they only cause issues for the country.

The infrastructure to get there; roads, bridge etc. The power grid to supply power to be able to compete etc.

You don't have a choice whether or not to use some shitty service a government provides. Paying for private roads is fine if you're actively using them.

Imagine there's a pizza delivery guy at your door.
>Hello, here's your pizza, that'll be $14.99 plus tip
>I didn't order any pizza
>I insist, take your pizza and pay for it
>No
>Okay, if you don't accept the pizza and pay for it, my heavily armed associates sitting in the van will kidnap you and steal a LOT more than the price of the pizza

Does that seem okay to you?

That's what happens when you make a lot of money fast.

Try 0% since they avoid taxes at all cost by doing shit that that writes off taxes like donating to charities that they pretty much run and keep the money.
Fucking the head of Amazon is so fucking rich he could solve world hunger and still be the richest person on the planet. I think he avoided taxes for the last couple year

roads are a public good, whilst pizza is a private good, so your comparison is moot

In those cases they aren't public then, I suppose, but that just shows the flaws of public goods

That's a very good starting point for a libertarian society.

Sorry, but I don't see any arguments.

My problem with taxes is how the IRS will go to the ends of the Earth to claim the $100 from the little guy's paycheck, yet when it comes to giant corporations and billionaires who avoid paying or use loopholes, they get off scot free and sometimes even get forgiven or subsidies. Makes it feel like the feudal system.

Are you dumb?

If everyone could choose? Niggers would starve for starters. Military wouldn't get a great budget, either. Everyone would pawn off fixing "muh roads" to someone else so that would end up with no funding. I dunno, we'd probably have better schools.

Private roads exist
Private schools exist
Privately owned electric companies exist
All of which provide a better quality service than government built/run services

national defense, policing, roads, lighthouses etc etc

Schools aren't public good, public parks which all the community can enjoy are good things

This isn't true. We all pay the same percentage, the only difference is that they have more overall money.

Yup

How else is the government supposed to afford the bombs it uses to blow up kids?

That isn't true. Patreon, Twitch, etc. is non-taxable. You can sit on your ass at your parents house raking in money without ever having to pay a dime to the system because its basically the equivalency of people giving money to a homeless person playing guitar on the side of the street.

taxation is theft

I wish the government enslaved faggots like you and fortnite players and sent them to gulags tbqh

If you ever think taxes suck, just ask yourself how you would govern and organize a large group of people who need a lot of shit and want you to take care of it. Now that's the principles of taxing, the actual implementation has problems like everything else people do.

>Private roads exist
>Private schools exist
>Privately owned electric companies exist
And even more public facilities exist.
>All of which provide a better quality service than government built/run services
And most regular people can't afford that, which is why the public sector exists.

You fucking retard, do you realize there's a tax code for people who make money like that? Lol it's still income you fucking zoomer holy shit

this isn't true at all, there are not only different tax brackets there are tons of different categories of income or capital gains which determine different tax rates owed and then you have things like mandatory holding times or automatic penalties on top of taxes.

>paying taxes

When Americans finally realize that they are the ones that are actually in control and decide they want to revolt the Government/Military can't do shit otherwise its gonna cause another mass Civil War or be seen as a Dictatorship and the rest of the world will get involved.

I don't see the problem he still has 1.5mil to use still.

Taxation is theft.

It is very much so taxable and you should be reporting that income to the IRS. What do you think the thot audit was?

didn't you like have a war or something to not have to deal with this shit? at what point did US become this big of a joke?

>how you would govern and organize a large group of people who need a lot of shit and want you to take care of it

They either take care of their shit themselves or they die. Simple as that. No leeches allowed.

>That isn't true. Patreon, Twitch, etc. is non-taxable.
That is completely and utterly untrue. In fact, if you make enough money doing practically anything you have to report your income.

I find it hard to believe that there's a 50% tax on that. I'd think it would be between 40% and 30%.

yeah anons lets bring about the age of megacorporations

It's not that outrageous.

I don't get this kind of thing. You do the same thing with prices, show the exc tax price on labels and pay a higher price when you get to the till. Why does anyone think it's a good idea to display a value different to the amount actually changing hands?

wear blackface

Honestly with the billions in debt they have I doubt they would even give a fuck, all that matters is they control the police and military.

so when are you going start taxing churches?

You're mindlessly, irredeemably stupid.

1913 with passage of the federal reserve act and income tax acts

Yes, why would merchants want to show you a smaller number than what you'll have to pay when they're trying to get you to buy something?

Taxes will never stop being a fancy term for theft. I'm no commie but taxes have always been a fucking con and they always will be. The system is debt-based and the fed prints money infinitely for infinite loans to make infinite debt. There is no reason for taxes.

bitch about corporations of course

that is no where near enough money to live in 'luxury' for the rest of his life

>Why does anyone think it's a good idea to display a value different to the amount actually changing hands?
Because most functional adults know what sales tax is and can make simple mathematical equations in their heads

That is not why the Revolutionary War happened.

We revolted because we were poorly represented within the Government and dealings. Colonies were actually taxed less than Britain. People in Britain paid 26 shillings per year, American Colonies paid 1 in New England. King George III didn't want the Colonies represented within the Parliament, which had he done so even a little, he could have prevented the entire war and revolt. Which is ironic because a century prior King Charles I was beheaded for this very reason.

And its all run so bad that your better off killing yourself

The reason for this is because different items are taxed differently. So making labels is obnoxious

what's the benefit of owning guns, again?

Obviously you're no Commie. They're all for high taxes. The word you're looking for is Libertarian. Which is almost just as bad but for completely different reasons.

it's always pretty funny when leftists bitch about Trump's tariffs when the Federal Gov before the fed reserve and income tax was largely funded by just tariffs on foreign goods. it's almost like these people like being a tax debt slave or something

Originally it was so civilians had a right to revolt if needed. But there are a lot of stupid laws anymore. Some places you can't have sex with your socks on (not enforced of course) but the point stands. Guns should be regulated, but you also have stuff just as stupid in the UK, such as knives being banned.

At the end of the day, dangerous people are going to find a way to injure and kill regardless of the weapon, guns are just an easier method to it and too easily accessed in America (which is the problem).

Chruches almost always provide more charity for their local community dollar for dollar than anything the government can provide. The government has an incentive to promote charity because it makes its job easier; hence why charitable donations are 100% tax deductible. Taxing a church would basically just be taking money away from the poor. And, even if this weren't the case, the first amendment basically makes passing any sort of laws about churches very difficult.

Generally big winnings from lottery and gambling are not included in your calculated taxable income because that would absolutely gimp your finances for the upcoming year.

Right, it's usually taxed immediately and taken out before you get the money

Everything is taxed. The government here is a big faggot about taxes both at the state and federal government.

So much shit is taxed that they get back like .80 for every dollar spent once it goes through all its paces. This is also extremely ironic because the nation was basically started on a revolution about bullshit taxes.

>somehow having the urge or necessity of offending somebody in public
why? for what purpose?

I'll take not ruining my life with bills if a medical issue happens over owning guns to be honest

>hunting or self-defense
most countries in the world allow people to own hunting guns legally and you wouldn't face much of a problem if you used it for self-defense the only difference with USA is that it's not as easy and cheap to have the permit to own a gun AND the money for it

>snoys confusing federal government with state government

In all likelihood we'll have one by 2050 for sure, whether a world war or a civil war in the US (which will cause destabilization across the world economy), especially with UK's departure of the EU and France going at it with the EU as well as of late.

History is a cycle, it repeats itself, resets slightly, and continues on. Remember America for all intents and purposes is an Empire, just not in name, all Empires fall.

>I don't know what taxes are used for
Sad

So is the EU, and China is trying to build one.

It's not okay to tax a person. Ordinary people just don't have as good lobbyists as churches, so when the 16th amendment was passed it wasn't shot down.

that's completely false bud it must be reported but the federal government demands taxes be taken up front because in the past so many people failed to pay them and many states now do this for their portion as well. you still have to include it in your end of year filings it's just they take taxes up front when paying out

not them but this has been the longest period of "peace" we've ever had so it's a little overdue at the very least and tension is definitely building between multiple countries.

The people who make a billion dollars don't actually make a billion dollars. Their actual income is far lower, they just have high wealth.

Even without stocks, he can buy a nice, 150,000 to 200,000 condo or house, depending on if he wants to live in the city or suburbs. He can pay it in full. Assuming his property taxes and utilities cost him about 1000$ a month combined (a VERY high estimate for most of the USA for a house at that price point, only the west coast or New York would actually be this expensive, south california and hawaii would be more expensive than this however) that means his yearly cost to live would be 12,000$. 1 million can provide you with 20,000$ a year for 50 years. Which means he has another 8000$ a year to spend on whatever the fuck he wants, if he wants it to last him 50 years.

I made a stupid indie xbox live arcade game back on the 360 and it sold 500,000 copies. I made it in like 6 months, and sold it for like 10$. I made about 5$ per sale, and ended up with 2.5 million dollars. Now, half of that went to Taxes, but my remaining money bought me a nice house in Florida, and I pay like 600$ a month in property taxes and utilities. I spend about 300$ a month for food. I never have to work, I don't have to do shit, I can spend 1000$ a month on whatever I want and live A-ok. I put out some other small games from time to time, never work hard on them, just stupid bullshit, and I've doubled my savings- I can live over 100 years off of this life style literally never having to work. My own place, all bills paid, good internet, money to buy games every month and build/upgrade my PC when I need to. It's the best.

The EU sort of is, Britain is still more of an Empire due to territories than the EU is, especially with how much control over it that Germany has, even then the EU will never control all of Europe, getting its hands on the East is trial enough. Especially former USSR/Russia Territorities and Albania/Kosovo. Albania had an extremely high chance in 1990 to be the 51st US State and was denied largely due to Communist Leadership at the time, and Kosovo houses America's greatest military base outside of the US, both of which have extreme and heavy American influences.

EU will never be a true Empire until it manages to capture the rest of Europe, same with China and Asia (which is never going to happen), not without force overall.

Regardless, 2040-2050 is gonna be an upheaval on the way the world is, it'll probably stagnate for 10-20 years afterwards and then things will slowly start building themselves back up (think the 1960-70s at this point).

Now, half of that went to Taxes, but my remaining money bought me a nice house in Florida, and I pay like 600$ a month in property taxes and utilities. I spend about 300$ a month for food. I never have to work, I don't have to do shit, I can spend 1000$ a month on whatever I want and live A-ok. I put out some other small games from time to time, never work hard on them, just stupid bullshit, and I've doubled my savings- I can live over 100 years off of this life style literally never having to work. My own place, all bills paid, good internet, money to buy games every month and build/upgrade my PC when I need to. It's the best.

Rich people pay 70% of the total tax in the US. Without them, you'd all be living in squalor. I dunno what it is about Americans to hate their rich people like so.

That's why you open a trust fund in Panama.

I'm on disability and my mom does all my taxes and handles my money for me. Plus I am set to inherit literal millions once some boomer in my family dies because I'm the only one it can go to. Fuck it feels good to sit inside jerk off and play vidya all day while still making enough to cover bills and then some for gamer purchases.

Without the rich funding their military, the rest of the world would have already glassed America.

Very few XBLA sold that amount. Most barely sold more than 10,000 at most, with the few remaining being big hits that sold close to a million.

My bet is this is his game, its one of the few that sold close to the 500,000 mark without getting close to a million. youtube.com/watch?v=v5T6qenbdUc

I also think it is the only one that fits the "made it in a few months" claim.

Africa isn't going to benefit anybody at this stage of the race. Sure there are tons of resources there, but there is too much instability and issues for it to go swimmingly for whoever tries to subjugate. Even China has problems in trying to do so compared to how Europe ran over them.

That game only cost a $1, not $10 like he said.

Everything in life is taxed and then your death is taxed, too; thanks, Government.

>Tax the rich!
>WTF WHY ARE YOU TAXING HIM?

Honestly I'm not worried. Actually I didn't even wanna know about it in the first place. It's weird to think about that at some point in the future I could just suddenly be rich, but I'm not holding out hope that it will happen. It's more of a "That would be nice if it did actually happen" kinda thing.

The rest of my life fuckin rules though, ever since I got disability I have been able to put that money towards making myself an even better person, and vidya.

Kek, I'd do this just to spite you

I don't know why you'd lie on Yea Forums. Maybe for the (you)s?

>the blood sucking jews who run government actually run a good clean organization that does good because I win free contrarian points for pretending this is the case

Then we'd likely still be in constant war fighting over who owns what land and resources, more so than how we are these days. Africa ironically does one thing well and its keep the rest of the world from inherently trying to kill themselves over resources. If we had enslaved or killed all the Africans, then we'd see blood diamonds like never before.

it's also a case of getting incredibly lucky it is not an easily duplicated feat. which is why this scrub probably will only ever have one 'hit' game to his name and fade away into obscurity. also that game he claims had a co creator so not sure how this guy claims he got all the money from it.

>Plus I am set to inherit literal millions once some boomer in my family dies because I'm the only one it can go to.

Veeeery compelling

Well I'm glad for you user, but just be weary, rich people do not like handouts, especially on their death beds. When my immediate family dies I'll get quite a bit, probably not millions (that side of the family are cunts that stay to themselves), but I'll get a decent sum to survive until I'm settled for a few years, but even then it's best to focus on saving and investing what you have just in case.

Especially with how anal they are about disability anymore (hell my mother can't get it despite being very clearly incapable of working), just because they don't want to keep paying people to do nothing.

what taxes if you're on disability with no other income you should have none. disability is non earned non taxable income unless you hit a certain taxable income threshold and then even your disability is taxable. also if your disability is SSI once you inherit money you'll have to kiss it and your insurance good bye as you'll likely then fail the asset test but at least you'd have millions

my parents are assholes so it wouldn't surprise me

Yes because an assault rifle and a 9mm are the exact same gun that anybody should be able to pick up and buy.

Man imagine Ted Bundy had an M-16 over a 9mm, yep, didn't need to regulate that military grade weapon at all.

you'd be surprised how many people think they're going to get a large inheritance and then end up with almost nothing or like 10-20K. it happens all the time

There is clearly something wrong when America went from God Bless Us and our beautiful country to constant strife and hatred of their Government.

The point is the percentage of money taken, which many feel is egregious, especially in a country that barely provides anything back in return and blows through money like a heroin addict on corrupt contracts and stupid wars nobody asked for. Not many were taking issue with the concept of taxation itself, I'm sure you knew that already but you thought you had a hot snarky comment lined up if you played just dumb enough not to get it.

it's regulated by law. businesses have to display the sale price as the taxes are going to the government anyway not the business. it's a bit fucked up but that's why

Taxes are unjust, don't tread on me!

Tbh it is not something I am planning my life around. Infact I probably should not have mentioned it in the first place.
Also I should mention I am Canadian and idk if taxes and disability work different here but basically I get 1200 a month and am allowed to earn another 10k? a year if I can. Basically if I got a job right now I could keep my disability as long as I don't earn over a certain threshold but I think I still have to pay taxes on that income. Again my mom handles all my money issues so I am totally stupid to all of this. All I know is that I can game all I want because a Doctor said so.

Have you tried reporting it to someone?
Are you absolutely sure it is a publicly maintained road?
I'm not doubting you, but unless you've been talking to city council and DoT for 5 years you are exaggerating the scope of the issue or living in an area with people who think similar to you and pay for lower taxes, therefore there is less budget for things like that.

Those are more of a necessity than luxuries and you really have to compare to really bad place to consider that as a luxuries.

No. The median people pay (after deductions and credits) about 10% of their income in taxes. There are still property taxes and sales taxes, but those are a bit more opt in, so most people don't mind them. The high end earners in high tax states though? Yes, they do pay high taxes.

Not nearly as outdated as your sources, user. Keep seething about America.

It depends. You can deduct charitable donations, and you can claim values, but if the numbers get too high you could trigger a red flag and get audited. The first time it happens they'll just make you pay any value they think you scammed them out of plus some interest, but if it happens again that's where the criminal charges start. Considering the standard deduction was changed to 24k last year, almost no one outside of super high earners, or people with uncommon setups (working from home) will be itemizing deductions, and thus worrying about donations.

>>tfw you live in a country with freedom of speech, can legally own a gun, age of consent is 14, and if you win millions in a tournament the cartel controlled government takes 0 dollars from your winnings
