    yeah, same "thinking" in the usa
    who deserves scholarships to college/uni?

    a-kids who have great grades and test scores-lower middle class financially
    b-kids who have sucky grade and test scores?-pooor
    C-girls who have kids while in their teens

    well B and C! of course lets all help the lowest common denominator try to get to the middle of the pack
    tha's how humans came to rule the earth, right? survival of the fitest was all about helping the retards get to the middle.

    lol yeah
    when I go buy milk, I don't need to give 5% of my income to buy milk
    milk has a set price
    when I want to live in this counry, why do I have to pay part of the money I made from my bank account in brazi?:how is that not stealing?

    Hmmmm.I said
    so I mean:
    why am I paying a percetage of what I make to the government?
    remember, "no spray no pay" when "Firefighters let home burn. Tennessee house in ashes after homeowner 'forgot' to pay $75 fee"?
    firefighters didnt want X% of income, they wanted a set amount
    when I look at my property tax bill(which is sorta insane) I pay money based on how much land I own..which makes sense, (sorta) I am paying for police./fire/etc to patrol my land...and X% goes to schools(which is to help the community and kinda stupid, since I dont use schools and have no say in schools and X% goes to lots of stuff that I don't use, but I pay for.(unless I live in the house, I have no say in local ordinances etc BUT I'm paying taxes, so I don't get a vote?)_


    but does property tax charge me for land Iown in other countries?
    no, it doesnt, why would it?

    federal taxes are worst, I pay them money for uknown stuff and what i pay isnt based on what I get, instead its based on how much I make.
    that's where teh milk comes in
    say yuo went to the store and bought milk how much? $5/gallon, that's how much it costs EVERYOne to buy milk
    what if you had to pay 5% of your income for the milk as you do to live in the country?>
    then how much you pay isnt the same\

    and if I have a income from a different country, say I make 5% in a bank account that's in brazil, I have to pay USa income taxes? for that money ?
    why? the money isnt in the uSA? just like the usa doesnt/cant charge me tax for land I own in brazil.


    why isnt the cost of living in the country the same for everyone?

    make sense?

    dooh
    i thought you were saying something about being taxed on property abroad!
    my bad! lack of coffee
    so I make sense? charging me a % of my total income is not fair?
    if you get told in high school,"you need to get a job so you can pay for healthcare, food, rent, taxes and X to live in the USA. that's more motivation to work hard than just "go find a job you LOVE!"

    Come now Komrade, you must pay your fair share! Uncle Sam has only overspent by $20 Trillion or so. Trust them. :rolleyes:

    great
    my point/story is about taxes and how inconsistent our govenment is
    seriously ?
    for an immgrant to come to USA and become a citizen, they have to fill out forms, get a phyisical, biometric fee, more forms, all kinds of <snip>
    they pay about $ 2k for this whole deal
    OR
    if you are poor etc,
    you can request a WAIVER so its free
    https://www.uscis.gov/i-912


    those fees pay the contractors who do all the immigration stuff. uncle sam isnt making money over immigration fee form
    so when the fee is waived, who is paying the contractors salary?
    PUT THE IMMIGRANTS ON A PAYMENT PLAN!
    sheesh
    tax the crap out of US citizens, but some NON-citzen gets in free?

    then immigrants, who are NOT yet citzens are getting social secruity benifets and they never paid into the system

    sheesh
