The property tax is worst. You buy land for $100k. You spend $520k building on said land. You are $620k into the home. County assesses the home and decides it is worth $1M. So you get taxed on $1M, not the $100k property, not even the total that you spent (and paid taxes on). What the county determines the value is. And if you don’t pay, they can take it all. How is that even fair.

We tax labor far more than capital in all sorts of ways and we need to reverse that.

Did we just realize what deductions, exemptions, credits, and refunds are?

Well, they never tax the whole 82k. With no other deductions, which is unlikely, your exemption alone would mean you are taxed on 66k. If you had a spouse and filed jointly you would be taxed on 50k. Add two children to the mix and you would owe nothing.

That is what the standard deduction is meant for. This is the thing you want them to raise so that they effectively tax less of your income.

Did you forget the part that a business also has to pay half the social security and medicare tax for all of its employees?

You also get to write off ALL of your expenses related to earning your income. Most earners dont itemize to create "write offs" because the standard deduction is typically higher than those costs.

Everyone keeps forgetting that the standard deductions mean 50% of the people in this don’t pay income tax, yet they are the ones complaining about a tax they literally do not pay. It makes so much sense

Your food, housing, insurance and all of that are all personal expenses. The company takes money and puts it back into the company. It doesn’t go towards their personal use. Do they enjoy dinner with the clients? Yes. That’s all a part of doing business

Well that’s exactly why the standard deduction should be significantly higher and taxes on higher income should replace it

business pays their employees, that is an deductible expense. they put money back into their business to improve customer experience. they do lots of marketing, pays different licenses pays property tax, 10 different type of insurance, and most importantly take the risk.

you forgot the part that the corporation employs thousands of employees who pay taxes like you and me so thanks to the corporation that that provide jobs. Most of the corporation expenses are salary and benefits of the employees. If you pay $250/checkor $500/month for insurance, your employer pays about $2,000. look it up. Emploee pays 20-25% and employer pays 75-80% of the premium.

The reality is this. The tax code favors corporations because they create jobs. However the untold story is that the tax code itself is deliberately made to be complicated to create jobs as well. All the accountants, bookkeepers, tax attorneys and IRS agents. The ATF, FINCEN, etc., employ millions of people. This is textbook capitalism.
