    I don't know who needs to know this but my take home pay looks like some bullshit. What rich asshole is taking half of my pay that goes to "taxes"?

    Half? Where do you live? The people's republic of Sweden?

    Also, that doesn't look like half.

        Looks like a pretty low tax rate to me.

        Edit: welp, not that low. Mine looks lower. Weird; I'm in Quebec and I thought our tax rates were pretty high.

            Your taxes appear to be 15-20%, which isn't too bad in the whole scheme of things.

              Look again, only a quarter is actually taxes. I pay 50 percent between provincial and federal tax here in Ontario, and I feel great about it because I hate money.

                Admittedly, a lot of taxes are misspent but a quarter of your income seems a bargain.

                For example, I imagine getting to your jon would be really difficult without roads. Or a semi functional legal system that stops people from just robbing your business whenever they feel like it. Or a system that enforces contracts and property rights.

                I've had a job where I didn't pay taxes. It didn't end well.

                            A quarter that does not include healthcare or other benefits, which probably suck out another 20% of what they could have made if health coverage wasn't tied to employment and has high co-pays and other costs.

                              And taxes getting wasted on awful things while neglecting incredibly vital things I would say is a huge problem. If our taxes were spent semi sanely they'd be a lot easier to pay

                                That looks like a pretty cheap subscription fee for a country ~25%.

                                Mine is closer to actually half, though we get healthcare and a half decent social safety net with ours.

                                Happy to pay it because I know I'd not be where I am now without the stuff taxes pay for

                                  They are now going to block our porn. Whatever are we to do with all the no time available to us and all the no money we have to spend?

                                      I'll die before retirement and I never use benefits. So its all a tax to me.

                                        Maybe if you used your benefits you'd live long enough to retire
