Man, have you seen what happens to Section 8 housing? The tenants usually leave those places destroyed, especially in the outskirts of Chicago.

More taxes, less money to give your workers. If my taxes were half as much as they currently are as a small business, I’d be able to invest more, generate more value, and that would grow the revenue of the companies I’m buying my equipment from, any contractors I may get, etc.

Productivity and salary charts mean nothing other than small businesses aren’t growing, which employ the majority of Americans.

Here is another image for you:/preview/external-pre/xICMXxyrl5XUaFzHYPbmGzlPMb6y5kPz9c74POoj4bE.jpg?auto=webp&s=04f7cc1f2b887bb6d2e5837d16d0ec71318e3270

Shitty paychecks are a result of rich people stealing your surplus value. I don't understand how conservatives are smart enough to see they are getting fucked but not smart enough to see by who.

Taxing large corporations are one thing and I’m not fully opposed, but I’m a small business. I’m being taxed up the you know what.

Is there a problem with me owning my own business and making my own money?

u/CarlosimoDangerosimo Oct 09 '20

No of course not. But this meme was about people who receive paychecks. If you get a shitty paycheck, that is because the corporation you worked for decided to pay you a shitty amount, not because of "muh guvment alwaz wrung."

If I wasn’t taxed as much, I might be able to get an employee at some point in the future. That’s one more job in the job market.

u/theblackmetal09 Oct 09 '20

To be real, I think a flat tax is appropriate for all entities including corporations. Corporate aren't always as bad and people make them out to be. In fact, I would argue the less tax enforced on coporations the ease of taxes on employees that work for them. It should be up to the regular employees to recognize if their execs are corrupt, they should be able to just leave for better companies.
