minus-squareNate Cox@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14arrow-down5·edit-27 months agoSure, we don’t have 70% tax rates like some countries do, but the 30% taxes we do pay don’t actually do anything to improve our lives. I feel like it’s valid to complain about paying taxes into a system that doesn’t have any interest in making our lives better or longer. Also, we still spend that extra 40% in ridiculous health insurance and copayments.
