This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I paid twice that in taxes here in the USA and I still don't have proper health insurance. If I got sick, I would be destitute.

You pay 20 000 $ of taxes????!

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Yes, from a salary of about 90k. However this is federal tax. We dont pay individual state taxes as well. Our sales tax is built into the price of goods. Our healthcare is also completely free.
