What if I like being a lazy ass...

In all seriousness though it depends on what you call high tax, if you mean a 99% tax then a second job doesn't help much but if you mean 10% is high then you have a point.

Basicly people are lazy , it's natural !
If people didn't want to pay high tax, maybe it's time to turn your money into bitcoin

The problem is that first you can't buy everything you need for bitcoins, and once you start to change them for cash you immediately find yourself in a field of view of the fiscal authorities. In the second you can't earn enough bitcoins to be not visible to the fiscal authorities.

But to convert your fiat cash to Bitcoin, you need to pay a small commission. On top of that, the government can easily track the fiat transaction, unless it is being done with physical cash. So converting from fiat to BTC is not a solution to the tax issue.

Many people complain of high taxes, when there is an easy solution they're too stupid to think of.  Get a second job lazy ass.

So you want us to work for 20 hours a day, and then pay a tax rate of around 70% on whatever we earn, right? In my country, if we add up all the direct and indirect taxes, then it comes to around 60-70%. And the biggest comedy is that only around 2% of the population is paying income tax. The remainder is living off these 2%.

I think we somehow share the same problem. There are some differences, however.

Here in my country, the great majority, around 98%--poor and the middle class income earners--are working hard day and night just to make ends meet. Of course, it still ends up lacking all the time. But these are the ones that really pay taxes. It is from these hard-earned money coming from the sweat and labor of poor and average income earners that the government is being supported by its, well, low expenditures because the rest go to the officials' pockets.

The joke is this: the remaining 2% are earning way way more than the 98% combined without even lifting a finger, but they do not pay taxes. If they do, these are small pennies coming from their huge businesses. And the government is supporting them big time.

Opps, I feel like it was not a joke after all. It made me angry. 

From what understand, governments have this scheme since they need the private sector to make jobs, since government can't employ everyone. The problem is that people are just being paid pennies. It's should at least go up as cost of living increases over time.

I can't tell if you are joking and attempting to parody or caricature someone's beliefs.. however taking you on the assumption that you are not purposefully being an idiot; How does working more affect the rate at which you are taxed, in a positive manner? (Spoiler Alert: It doesn't)

In most 1st world countries, the more money you make the higher tax-rate you pay, unless you have some special position that enables you to manipulate rules or create loopholes for yourself.

Wouldn't call this an easy solution. If you're working and you can't afford basic commodities like food, shelter, electricity or running water, that means the taxation might be indeed too high. Taxation shouldn't be like mob racketeering. That's why there are income minimums in many countries, bellow which people are not taxed. Of course then comes the problem with people declaring smaller income in order to not only pay less, but sometimes no taxes at all...

Hey, hold you horses Donald...    It's not that easy, i wonder if you even pay taxes. lmao

If you're working and you can't afford basic commodities, then that may also mean that your job is not a well paying one. So another option would be to learn new skills and apply for a new job after that.

I wonder if he knows what a job is.!! He's smoking some serious sh*t I guess. Leave about second jobs, government put taxes on even online earnings. Everyone tries to evade them. It's a never ending problem.

People are not robots and physically will not be able to work for two jobs in one day, maybe only part-time work, but it does not improve the financial situation so much.

You are not right. In many countries there is a big lack of jobs. Can you remember how in the 90s you have in Russia many people who have had one or more degrees in order to survive he went to work in the market and are still working.

[KroFly]

Not all countries can get at least one job, not to mention the second. Here the question is not laziness, but in the organization of workplaces it is desirable with worthy payment.

[dissident]

Whatever. Nobody should be required to work much more than 50 hours a week. Life is too short for that shit. Thank goodness for crypto currencies.. it's turned a middle class working stiff into a very comfortable working stiff.   I work rotating 12 hour shifts and have today and tomorrow off. I'm going to enjoy myself!  I try to avoid overtime when I can, which has cost me cash in the past, but none of that matters now, I don't need overtime anymore.  If we had single payer healthcare in the US I'd consider quitting my job to pursue other opportunities, but when you quit a job with good health coverage in the US, you're basically screwed.

Look dude, you have to understand that it's about the amoubt youbtake home from your hard work that suffers from high taxes. If you get another job, which definitely will also be taxed, then you're working doubly hard to pay more taxes. It's not about being lazy, it's about getting the proper salary/amount that you've worked for.

If I remember correctly, there were a lot of jobs in Russia back then. But the problem was that the salaries became worthless due to the devaluation of the Ruble. Scientists and physicians were earning just around $100 per month, and they were forced to find a second job, such as working as a driver or laborer.

In some country - an employee is required to work 8 - 9hrs per day.
And your solution to prevent the high tax is getting a second job. ?

I know people who work up to 14 hours a day in India (and that too for 6 days a week). And the tragic thing is that even after working for so much time, they only get around $150 per month (or around $1,800 per year). If you don't have the necessary qualifications and the unique skills, then it is really difficult to find a good job, at last in the third world nations.

Thanks, i didn't know solutions to daily problems were so easy in this world. I'll try your idea.

It is not practical. If you work for 18-20 hours a day, then your health will deteriorate (even if you are super healthy). After a few months you may need hospitalization. Even if you escape from permanent effects, the treatment will cost you a fortune.
