That’s great, have a look at what those things should cost and then look at how the government is mismanaging their funding that we give them
Why even bother with wages, just have the corporations pay the government directly for our work. The government can figure out how to distribute everything and fuck us all
So what I hear you saying is that families with homes should just lose their homes because funding the government is more important? And they should have thought of that before buying a home?
Are you a fucking idiot?
Let’s just make MORE poverty stricken people, the government comes before all! It sounds like you just want everyone to hand over their pay cheques to the government so they can decide who gets what and when they get it, so we can all be totally fucked.
This Lemmy crowd is filled with morons.
Children don’t know anything yet. They haven’t lived enough to know anything yet. Because they’re children.
Wait until you’re grown up, you’ll understand that we shouldn’t listen to teenagers about how the world should work.
No, it’s of the sex that can bear children. Use your head. If a woman cannot bear children, it is because something has gone wrong.
A man who feels like a woman has nothing that has gone wrong with their ability to bear children. There is no diagnosis of why they cannot.
But a doctor can tell you why a woman is unable to. A man just cannot and is not meant to.
Think about it very carefully.
You have to understand how expensive it is supporting a family right now. People are spending an insane amount of money on groceries alone. $1,000 - $1,800 a month
The gas to get to work for a two income household could be upwards of $1,000 a month.
Mortgage renewal? Hope you have an extra $700 a month laying around.
Cad payments? Ya that’s going to add another $200-$300 a month in interest payments alone now.
And forget it if you have kids. Daycare, physical activities, summer camp? Maybe another $12k per year depending on how many kids you have!
The issue here is that the middle class are also being destroyed and without them there’s no money to even give to the government to help lower income people.
In Canada, $150k a year for a family of 5 is low income now.
At least lower income people get subsidized food and housing. Middle class? They get 20% interest on credit cards to keep afloat.
This isn’t about wages, it’s about costs. All of them of which taxes are just one. A big one, but just one.
You can attack the corpo’s later, right now the fight is with the government to get the money going out under control.
You can get a 50% raise, but if you’re still spending 70% more to eat and have a roof over your head, it doesn’t really matter does it?
If shit was more affordable, maybe $40k a year could be a livable wage again. Cause right now it’s not.
You’re a fucking communist. You’re an idiot
Agreed 100%
I pay 30% of every dollar I make and I also pay another 18% or so every time I spend a dollar directly to the government.
And the prices of EVERYTHING has Skyrocketed!
When prices go up, the goods and services taxes you pay also go up. When prices go down, they go down too.
Interest rates are killing people, prices are killing people, taxes on top of taxes are killing people
A lot of people who pay $20-30k+ a year in taxes are also struggling.
Mortgages have gone up, milk has gone up, eggs are too expensive, a lot of countries (like Canada, where I live) are increasing carbon taxes. Gas is already $1.70 a litre!
Wages are one thing, but how many people can just swallow a mortgage payment that increase $500-$700 a month?
I get it, you want to make more money, but something the government can actually do is let you keep more of the money you do actually earn.
I had a build I made in 2011, same case but the white version.
Gtx 580 (yes that old, not THAT 580, the old one by nvidia lol)
These are CAD prices
Case - NZXT Phantom $200 i7 2600K $400 p8-z68 Deluxe $250 Corsair vengeance 16gb (4x4gb) Corsair gold ax850 Optical drive (blu-ray) SSD HDD Corsair H100 CPU cooler $100 GTX 580 $500 Panasonic TH-50PZ85U (this is the plasma screen tv I originally had it hooked up to)
That PC is still hooked up in the office, my daughter plays roblox on it. It’s hooked up to a 144hz, 1440p LG ultra gear monitor and that beast is still going strong. A couple case fans don’t work anymore, and I don’t care.
Built this to play Diablo 3
The fan controls on the case do still work though!
How much has the price of milk gone up in the last 4 years?
It’s okay that you’ll lose your house, because there are people without houses.
Perfect retarded communist point of view. Let’s just make everyone poor, then we can just change the definition of what poor is
