I feel jealous of athletes' tax rates

[strateguy632]

my job in hi tec, not my personal salary, but common salary $65,000 per year.

based on tax bracket i pay 9600 each year for federal besides state and city tax. so can keep $55,000 for expenses.

in contrast to wealthy athletes, huge contracts for example the running back 9m!
his tax bracket is 37% seems more tax...

even 5% of 9m. would pay (450,000) far more than me but... can afford bigger tax so 37% around a third.

so a third of 9 is 3, around 3.3 million tax... lots? but leaving... athletes can keep 5.7m. 100 times more than... a hi tec salary!

we see despite paying 3m he keeps much more... by the absurdly outrageous 100 times more than me... a hi tec!

not compared a window washer!

people who earn that much can afford to give half to tax! they would still have 4m! 70 times more than mine!

i AM jealous and justified too.

similarly athletes who earn 1 million, can keep 630,000 much more. ten times more than my hi tec. the million is for skill pro, but tax needs to be appropriate too!

we need to protest that athletes keep that much after taxes! they can afford tax... INSTEAD of their luxury mansions and too many cars to even use!

I heard priests don’t pay any tax or the churches for property tax, I get so much money taken out because I’m single with no deductions

[strateguy632]

hmm nothing about the topic? but donations are what supports churches so differs from salary yours and athletes. if you don't notice that you must HATE churches
i mean even a prest salary is from the church donations not from any sales nor business. just bingo fees.

[Likes2drive]

Yeah I realized that but I was just bringing up another point that some people only become priests later on for those perks, athletes are short lived and get paid crazy amounts for a short time and then go broke

Nobody should have taxes honestly.. Not the rich nor us.. Forget paying the government just to have more people get in there..

[strateguy632]

i remind you public schools run on our taxes, so impossible with zero taxation. as long as we also have representation.

[Joshydavid25]

Yeah, true but most public schools suck, and at this point they're becoming indoctrination camps really.. Private and Charter schools are usually much better..

[JayBones]

There was no tax until the civ8l war and we had public schools. If the Government wasn't stealing everyone's money and sending it over seas we could live off one salary and the wives could teach the children.

[Joshydavid25]

@JayBones True, if there were to be taxes it should be minimal funds to a small government in case of public services.. But absolutely.. For the most part taxes suck..

[A_Bell]

Maybe with better capitalization, you'd earn a larger salary.

Also, look up how percentages work.

[NathanDavis]

how do you feel about religious institutions... pretty much non-existent taxes to pay at all? no jealousy there?

[exitseven]

private colleges as well. Harvard should be paying taxes.

[NathanDavis]

@exitseven and charity, and private foundations, political ones too...

[strateguy632]

to nathan, that ignored HALF the equatiion. i emphasized the ability can afford to pay more but chrches scrape by on donations.

[JayBones]

Get married and have 3 kids. I make around the same as you and paid -$1,690 in taxes this year lol. Yes. I paid nothing and they gave me a $1,690 refund. Ha ha ha. If your in tech I have no doubt you voted for all these taxes.

[exitseven]

Who cares about tax rates. I am jealous of their sex lives.

[jamesgoldman]

Zero taxes
