^ WTF is that?

Something that ur just gonna copy and paste about 2 pages from now  Roll Eyes

I didn't copy/pasted anything from this thread. Crypto community is small and most of the memes circulated in tight space. Sometimes it's hard to find post in tons of conspiracy theories.

Today, I pay my fair share of taxes and everyone leaves me the fuck alone.

This, my friend, is the definition of extortion. Pay or get fucked with.

I am all for funding social buildings, schools, hospitals, fire fighting, all of those things.
I also do not support extortion.
These are two different things. You seem to think that one must exist in order for the other to happen.
Why do you think you believe this? Possibly those schools funded by extortion taught that this is normal?

Just take the taxes side of things. You can't own the house because of the property taxes. You can't go anywhere without paying the taxes on the gas. You can't leave the country if you owe the IRS.
[...]
So it's fine if you're a statist cuck with no ambition. But it's no place for a sovereign individual.

....................


Uh, hit someones nerve there. Create new account to write wall of words.

Long live the sovereign individual.

What's the actual tax rate in the states, anyway? In my country it's about 80%. 50% income tax, 25% sales tax and a whole bunch of taxes that are not openly advertised on anything you buy adding up to another 50%.

How much of your labor needs to be taken away before you no longer consider yourself "free"?

Federal tax rate depends on income and whether you're married/single. A married couple making a combined $150,000/year, for example, has a tax rate of 22%.

State income tax rates vary greatly. States like Texas, Florida, and several other have no income tax. California, the most "progressive" state in the country, has a top tax rate of 13.3%. Most large cities also have a small income tax.

Then, there are property taxes. These vary widely and are based on the value of your home. Mine are something like $2,400/year.

State sales tax is typically around 6-7%. There is no federal sales tax.

There are other taxes, which are hidden from most people, such as corporate income taxes, gasoline tax, etc.

Man, I wish my RE taxes were this low.
In TX they are INSANELY high.
$10K on a moderately valued home. It's a high replacement of state tax.
I am not retired, but a typical retiree cannot pay this.

I'm not liking the panel they grabbed for their "panel of experts".

A Ripple guy and a bunch of professors of the legacy systems.


Ripple guy suggesting the Fed create a centrally controlled cryptocurrency. Or a cryptocurrency like...hmm...Ripple. Bitcoin is money, but not a very good one. Nothing wrong with our current system.

Heritage guy: Not Bitcoin...blockchain! (at least he suggests they get rid of capital gains taxes on spending crypto). He also mentions that centralizing crypto under Fed control wouldn't work. Adoption rate would help with volatility.

Professor: The US dollar has backing. Money is created by banks. Bitcoin not getting traction as a medium of exchange (likes Tether).

Old legacy finance guy: Private currencies have existed before. Money over time has become more centralized. Will it become decentralized due to crypto? Not likely. Central bank digital currency is a horrible idea. An increase in centralizing should be avoided.

They keep talking about a Federal Reserve deposit account.


Final summary: Cryptocurrencies are interesting and developing, it looks like we'll be coming back to this topic later.

Mr Pollock ended with this: " I don't think it [future forms of currency] will be a privately issued fiat currency like bitcoin"
Not sure if he meant it, but sounded like he called bitcoin a privately issued fiat currency. Hwa?HuhHuhHuh?

Corporations are soulless mummies mandated to maximize shareholder profit. Imagining market forces will manage humans with anything other than complete indifference is nuts.

Funny thing about profit? It can only be garnered by providing something the masses want at a price for which they are willing to pay.

Truth is, the cold indifference of profit-seeking enterprise is the mechanism by which the lowliest among us live better longer lives in more comfort than the aristocracy of merely a century ago.

Google and Amazon etc compete by giving employees not only salaries, but "free" cafeteria food, "free" dental etc.

Rich western countries compete that way too.

It's up to each country what kind of "free" benefits like healthcare they should provide.

Corporations are soulless mummies mandated to maximize shareholder profit. Imagining market forces will manage humans with anything other than complete indifference is nuts.


You don't like "salary+benefits" package, you move to a better country.

Just everybody get rich and move to a seastead then. Good plan.

I went ahead and put my inflammatory quote back in the context of depending on companies to provide basic needs. fwiw
