Title: So how much money does the gov't take away from you?
Post by: Faye Valentine on Dec 08, 2009, 08:08:44 PM: I mean, including federal taxes, state, city , social security, etc etc. I get like 33% taken. My bf just told me he's going to get 40% taken away (working in nyc) and i think thats a fucking crime! 40% wtf

Post by: Derrick on Dec 08, 2009, 10:24:00 PM: He works in NYC and it's only 40? I've heard as high as 57 if you live and work in the city.

Thankfully, RI isn't that bad. I think it's around the 20s.

Post by: B E C K on Dec 08, 2009, 11:07:56 PM: Right now I'm not making anything so they get sales tax from me. If anybody's fleecing me right now it's the credit card companies.

Post by: Derrick on Dec 09, 2009, 10:00:11 AM: Considering their rates are at most around 30%, that's still not bad. Citibank tried to do that to a card I never used. It was around 8%, and now they wanted to jack it up to 29.99% Janurary 1st. I cancelled the card. :D

WHAT. I've never heard of that! I thought that only happened in some countries in Europe. This is horse manure. Anyways he has an apartment in Manhattan and here in Philly (his main residence is here). He still has to paid taxes for both states though.
Title: Re: So how much money does the gov't take away from you?
Post by: Derrick on Dec 11, 2009, 05:24:05 PM: Do you mean all of the taxes together, or just federal. If you live in Manhattan, you pay Fed, State, City, Borough, and the all the various assessments on properties and fees for the mass amounts of transit systems.

Title: Re: So how much money does the gov't take away from you?
Post by: Rodent of Unusual Size on Jan 02, 2010, 01:01:17 AM: When all the health care stuff goes into effect, expect the average U.S. top combined state-federal marginal tax rate to hit about 52%. And embedded taxes in goods and services will rise as providers brace for the reaming they're going to take due to health care, cap & trade, the long-desired (by some) but not-yet VAT, and any number of other current federal projects. And with the value of the dollar getting lower, expect your money to not buy as much as it used to.

All of a sudden, Peru don't look so bad.

Post by: Faye Valentine on Jan 04, 2010, 03:09:59 PM: I have noooo idea how taxes work in Peru, but I don't think you pay as much as here. Believe it or not, Peru is doing good now. Argentina, on the other hand, is completely FUBAR

It's been going downwards since they had like 3 presidents on a week. Hmm 2002 maybe? I can't remember. Of course the rest of SA rejoice at this, since argentineans always thought they were the shit and looked down at every other country.
