Wages have increased to accomodate tax rate. There was no income redistribution at the time of the Great Depression and since they started doing it there hasnt been any depressions. Theres more economics behind it, but people who listen to political slogans wont mind them.

In my country, there is not just income tax. We pay tax when we buy grocery, dine in at restaurant, or when even go to cinema.

Most of our taxes in the United states goes to health insurance companies. Everyone is on government welfare. Look at the business man who gets handouts. He can pay his workers a non livable wage because the government subsidizes workers by giving them welfare and cheap healthcare to offset low pay. By proxy that business man is dependent on welfare. We’re all beggars when it comes to money.

Once my heart was working at 14% and I was ACTUALLY disabled HOWEVER now my heart is working at 55% and im not as disabled as I used to be
I think im spiraling and dont wanna ramble like I have before and I know nobody likes me when im having symptoms
I don’t feel bad because I paid those taxes for 25 years before receiving SSDI. I’m getting what I paid for. It’s fair.

This isn’t the case because your taxes benefit go back into the economy. You’re fine but when you’re super wealthy and taking out of the economy; that’s when you’re ripping benefit off of the tax economy
so what I mean to say, you’re not the problem. Your spending isn’t devaluing the economy but hoarders of cash/assets do
People who haven’t learned financial economics always blame us for something that isn’t true - “my taxes pay for you”, no, your taxes pay for the negligence by governing bodies on tax evasion imo because they’re the ones devaluing the money

Everyone will be sick at some point. That’s the way society works… it’s like insurance…. Some of us get sick. Who knows who it will be. If we didn’t get sick we’d be taking care of sick people so…. When somones down your help them up. When you recover then you can help others up. You can always volunteer if you want to give back to society.

I thought you paid your own taxes for disability? I didn’t think you qualified unless you worked.

Taxes are simply the membership fee to belong to a civilzed society. I am okay with taxation as long as it is not wasted on virtue signalling, which our last PM did a lot.

No, that’s part of what taxes are for. I agree with @shutterbug completely on this.

correct.
[Egregious examples of corporate welfare include taxpayer-funded subsidies for massive corporations like Boeing, Intel, and Walmart (via low-wage worker support), the failed Solyndra loan, sweetheart deals for stadium construction, the Agriculture Department’s export marketing subsidies (MAP), and tax breaks for profitable companies like Alcoa, all distorting markets, fostering cronyism, and shifting costs onto the public while big businesses profit, notes from organizations like the Cato Institute and Inequality Media report, Hoover Institution, and Common Dreams show.
Here are some key examples:
Solyndra Loan Guarantee: A $535 million loan guarantee for the solar company Solyndra, which went bankrupt, leaving taxpayers to foot the bill for a politically connected, failing business, illustrates cronyism, say Cato Institute and Pelican Institute.
Agricultural Subsidies: The USDA’s Market Access Program (MAP) gives millions to large food exporters for advertising, while programs like the Export-Import Bank subsidize major companies like Boeing, GE, and Halliburton, note Cato Institute and The Nation.
Low-Wage Worker Subsidies: Large retailers like Walmart and McDonald’s pay such low wages that their employees rely on public aid (food stamps, Medicaid), effectively making taxpayers subsidize corporate profits, according to Inequality Media.
Tax Breaks & Deals for Big Companies: Profitable companies like Intel, Ford, and Amazon receive billions in subsidies, while deals like the one for Alcoa involve huge state aid to keep jobs, shifting burdens to other taxpayers.
Public Funding for Sports Arenas: Governments often use taxpayer money to build stadiums for wealthy sports franchises, which critics argue is a handout with little public return, points out Quora users.
Superfund & Environmental Costs: Taxpayers often foot the bill for cleaning up hazardous waste sites (Superfund) caused by irresponsible companies, burdening the public with costs that should be borne by the polluters.]–AI Overview
Do you honestly believe that the CEOs of Boeing, Intel, Walmart and Amazon feel bad for taxpayers?

Insurance companies tend to keep their word. The problem is that no one bothers to learn the details of the word they are keeping until it’s too late.
Read. Your. Policy.
Did you know you can upload your policy docs to an AI like Gemini or ChatGPT and have them analyze your coverage and tell you what the red flags are? Worth doing, and BEFORE you have a loss and get caught by a “gotcha”.
Here’s an example…
Nine years ago when I was new to the industry I was faced with a possible E&O (Errors and Omissions) ding for missing a coverage. A vehicle jumped the median, became airborne, and landed in a client’s showroom. When he claimed the loss, there was an exclusion for “collision by vehicle”. I had missed that and I’m responsible for pointing out missing coverages. Company denied the claim (they did keep their word).
My boss, more experienced than me, went through the 80+ pages of wordings and found that damage from projectiles was covered. Well, the car had jumped the median and entered the building well above ground level. Therefore, projectile. The adjuster made an unhappy noise and admitted that in this case a vehicle collision was indeed covered because it was technically a projectile. Word kept. Over $300,000 in damage covered.
The client got paid out and on renewal we remarketed to a company that included collision by ground vehicles in the coverage.
Sorry for going off-topic, @anon73276666.

While it’s never fun to pay your taxes, we still must protect our most vulnerable people with government assistance sometimes.
