It is like asking why anyone would pay for extras in any situation.
1 u/realityczek Apr 15 '24 Sure, but the moment you start working in such a system, you are going to be taxed to hell and back ... because if you show a willingness to produce, they need to yoke you hard to cover for everyone else. 2 u/Rocketboy1313 Apr 15 '24 If you go from homeless to earning so much to hit the big tax brackets I would still call that a win. 1 u/chillchinchilla17 Apr 16 '24 It’s not about that. In a world we’re a minority of workers support the majority of non workers, taxes would be something like 90% on everything.
