Booo, misinformation. I legit thought I was just getting old for a sec but fo4 is like 8 years old. Although that does still hurt to think about.

The cited article is for expenses unrelated to taxes. I would like to reiterate that I am not disagreeing that the system is busted, I'm just pointing out that saying that higher income people pay less taxes in literal tax havens is not possible. If they are only paying for sales tax and property tax, the only individuals who will be paying more taxes are property owners, which because of how fucked the system is, will practically be exclusively higher income individuals. Yes, renting costs more than property tax, but we are talking about taxes. The majority of your rent will not be going back to the government through taxes, but all of your property tax will.

I don't buy this, man. Groceries aren't taxxed, and I just don't see how a lower income individual could physically buy the same amount of taxed goods as a multimillionaire

...sales tax? I don't believe that that would be higher for lower income individuals, seeing as higher income people would purchase more things that are taxeable than lower income people. The only other tax I can think of is property tax, which again, I would expect to disproportionately be played by higher income people as they are more likely to own property. I'm not saying that taxing the rich is bad, I'm just saying that there is positively no chance that rich people pay less taxes even if you exclude state income tax.

Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and Wyoming all have no state income tax. Am I missing something, or is this graph just misinformation?

Heh, "Don't Be Evil"

Juarez is probably safer than the bad part of Chicago. The cartels are unlikely to fuck with you if you mind your business.

People who are in support of the death penalty baffle me. Next to no one is happy about the government right now, and you trust these people with the power to kill whoever they want?

Fair, but that's an issue with the concept, not the execution. If they're going to go through all this effort to cast gold into machine parts, why would they use spraypaint?

Also I have no reference but I feel like if you plated this in tungsten you could get past customs. If they ask why its so heavy you could just say it needs to be heavy for a specific usecase so it's made of tungsten, though I admit I have no idea what tungsten plated gold would look like on an xray, or if tungsten electroplating is even possible.

Why did they not just electroplate it

Yeah no I see that. God forbid you be wrong, right?

You are reducing my point of "cultures inheritely demand respect for its generational perseverance" down to "I am right" You either can't think of a valid argument against my point, or you somehow gained enough compassion to not want to argue that other people's culture is not inheritely respectable.
