When someone took 25% of your money, and then gives 2% of it back. "Stimulus"!

Only 25%? Well gather 'round, folks, and let me tell you a tale of a place called Canada, where we lose 50-60% of our income to tax, then are told we can't work, then are given $3.7b CAD in relief, AND THE PEOPLE REJOICE.
What they don't realize is Canada is going to want to replenish that $3.7b right away and will raise taxes even further to do it. I'm seriously considering moving to the USA and bringing my business down there when the borders open up. Canada has beautiful nature but terrible policy.
25% is too much for a Hongkonger, let alone 50%.
(In Hong Kong, salary tax is capped at 15%)
Besides the US I’ve never seen more beautiful country than in the Great White North. Some truly nice people too. It’s unfortunate your government is so full of stupid.
People elect governments.
Unfortunately dead people also seem to vote here and they're all democrats. Brain dead people, physically dead people, morally dead people....
Dumb people generally are also very nice :)
You're not wrong about people electing governments, but we have zero say in who our national party representatives are. The political parties choose their leaders, we only vote for the party we want in our local area. If enough of that party wins enough areas, their leader is now Prime Minister, which is one reason Trudeau got in even after the SNC Lavalin scandal.
Michigan is practically Canada, especially northern LP / UP, and we need all the pedes we can get.
Progressive policies apply, but not to the same degree. Might be a soft landing?
I once met a couple from Michigan over a bowl of clam chowder in Seattle. They seemed very nice, almost Canadian.
Can I exercise 2A there? What are taxes like? How is it to run a business? Is pot legal there? I WANT TO WEAR A SPACE FORCE HAT!
Open carry state, very much 2A. Taxes on par with Rust belt, not the lowest in the nation, though. Legal weed, starting a second business as we speak. father ran his own business for 25 years. state and fed never stop finding ways to get their hands in your pocket, but pretty typical. Think income/tax rates for the state are roughly 10-12%.
Come on down! And from Detroit you can look south to CA!
Not bad! I will seriously consider MI, I was for some reason under the impression that it was a blue state and thus a democrat shithole where I pay all the money and receive none of the benefit. I am gladdened to know this is not the case. I have family in Windsor, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to live in Detroit. Any other recommended cities/counties in MI?
Texas has what you need, fren. 0% state income tax, very good business incentives, castle doctrine (2A stuff), and considering all the Commiefornians being imported we could use more Pedes.
Alot of those Californians are taxpaying pedes. Now your southern border counties form a solid blue wall of its own. I wonder why?
Texas is one of my top choices for the reasons you've listed. How do they manage to go on with 0% state income tax? I'm coming from a place where NOTHING is not taxed at least once, so I'm genuinely curious how that works.
It is hard to find outdoor shooting ranges (over 50 Yards) in parts of south east Michigan though without being a member of a club that requires you to work there some.
Got stuck in michigan for the summer of 2015. Lot of great people there. Shittiest roads in the entire country though.
Just stay far, far away from Detroit at all costs.
Drove through the upper peninsula in 2017 too, absolutely beautiful place.
It's not really only 25%. It's 25% in federal income tax, and 15.3% in federal payroll taxes, and an average of 4% in state income taxes, and an average of 6% in state and local sales taxes, and excise taxes on gasoline, and property tax for anyone who owns, or that bundled into rent for anyone who doesn't, and ---
Upper middle class Americans and upward pay about 50% of their income in taxes, and other middle class Americans pay about 33% of their income in taxes. The sainted poor pay nothing in income taxes - half of all filers - but do pay payroll if employed and sales when they eat and so forth, for maybe 15% total.
