Try ripgrep instead of grep. Unless you go for index etc.
Whining about having to pay income taxes by themselves. Could also be that many are self employed.
I don't think it's enforced by law. Only federal tax. Maybe different in different states? Anyway, Americans are always whining about it, so I figured it was national/federal.
In theory, it's not the most economically efficient. We want people to work, and taxing labor decreases the incentive to work. However, there isn't any viable alternative given the current circumstances. Labor creates all value in society and you can't easily hide labor off shore (though I guess that's what happened with globalization and China).
One should understand that income tax should be a tax on the consumption of labor (just as a tariff is a tax paid by the importer/consumer). Right-wing politicians have made the employee pay the income tax (to decrease acceptance of the system), but it should always be the employer that pays the tax.
If we start to call income tax "labor VAT" or something similar, that will probably solve a lot of misunderstandings.
Making the employer pay the tax before the money reach the employee solves quite a lot. I understand that's not the practice in the US.
Den självklara lösningen: ökad ekonomisk och social trygghet för löntagare.
Lösningen som KD försöker att rationalisera: tvinga människor att föda fler barn via t.ex. reformerad abortlagstiftning och kristen nationalistisk propaganda.
Because the political and economical situation is extreme.
I’ve heard it said that every successful Swedish war campaign begins with the loss of their entire fleet.
Everyone knows the Comanches were nothing but peace loving kindness and happy joy.
Sverige är ett trasigt land utan självinsikt. På väg mot en säker undergång ifall inget görs snart. 2026 kan bli spiken i kistan ifall borgarna vinner. Oligarkerna kommer explicit att överge stödet för den liberala demokratin och den så kallade svenska modellen kommer att vara historia. Vi rör oss mot 1910-talet med stormsteg. Om vi inte redan är där.

Det finns förstås inte något universum där det är rimligt att inte informera allmänheten i en liberal demokrati om att en ministers barn är aktiv våldsbejakande extremist.
När avslöjandet dessutom innbär att ministern i fråga (Johan Forssell) uppvisat stor dubbelmoral, blir valet att undanhålla informationen för allmänheten absurt. Det visar dessutom i att vi verkligen inte (längre?) har någon så kallad "vänstermedia" i Sverige.
