Hey sis , you should draw animals fucking to get something out of your degree . <| sep |> Hm . I worked at one for six months and never once heard of this . Guess I lucked out lol . <| sep |> On the other hand I think it is entirely unreasonable that people expect you to help maintain the lies they tell to their own children . <| sep |> Just posted <| sep |> Depends on your risk profile basically , but when I ran my own business , I would sometimes end up doing 1099 contract work instead of contract W 2 hired work . sorta . It ' s complicated the first few years , I could easily hit 55 % tax exposure there city , county , state , federal income tax . selfemployment tax basically , you pay both halves of social security . social security medicaid . As I was contractor from home , but I didn ' t have a fixed room or a dedicated use internet line , I had few if any writeoffs . The issue I have with the US is that our taxes really aren ' t that much lower than UKCanadaEU , but we get a fuck of a lot less for them because remember , you have to pay for health insurance atop that . I mean , if you ' re only counting income tax , I ' m probably around 2030 % atm , but we also have property tax I just moved , and halved my property taxes from 14 k per annum to 6 . 5 k USD per annum , whilst doubling my land , because I moved out of a village that taxed atop the town ' s property taxes .
