If anyone hoarded anything like billionaire hoard money we’d have them commited.

They made an incorrect assumption that some of us are correcting.

Most of the reports I see about the police being awful seem to come from the US.

What’s your issue exactly?

Yes that’s the point. I’m replying to one one who thinks this is only an issue in the US.

The Dark History Of Saskatoon’s ‘Starlight Tours’ In Which Police Leave Indigenous People To Freeze To Death

Since at least 1976, [RCMP] police have picked up Indigenous men, women, and boys, then left them miles outside the city on sub-zero winter nights, leading to what’s known as the Saskatoon freezing deaths.

It matters because that missing minute is when he actually died. One minute he’s alive, the next he’s dead.

The video shows a totally different cell than the original news pictures yeah.

There’s a ton of intricacies to it though, for example if you live in Canada you can’t invest in one of the two retirement accounts without paying some pretty hefty fees. Those fees don’t affect the rich who can easily pay it off, they only affect small times personal finance investing. Primary residence are only excluded for a relatively small amount (might be enough if you live in a small town, forget it if you live in a major metropolitan area past a small one bedroom condo), and the division with a partner isn’t 50/50 like it is in Canada so your Canadian partner potentially looses a ton of money. Increases the cost of accountants and personal finance advisors by like three folds. Etc, etc…

I get that trying to get rich people to not use tax heavens is good. But this affects regular people who haven’t lived in the country for years, decades, as well as their non American families.

I know this first hand, and second hand, as my immediate and extended family is all sort of cross border intertwined. It’s a real pain in the ass.

Well there’s and entire minute missing, and the video was released with Adobe Premiere metadata…

You could beat your wife, she couldn’t really divorce you, and couldn’t open a bank account. That’s usually why they love the 50s.

Daniella Weiss is a nominee for 2025

a) the main purpose is to avoid paying b) because spending a bunch of cash can be suspicious to other agencies that are looking, like if law enforcement is already suspicious and starts seeing a ton of large purchases without a legitimate source of income they will figure out something is up c) because people don’t know any better.

Fair enough. The same saying often goes for sex workers.

That’s how they ended up catching Al Capone, on tax fraud charges.

Where ever Vijay publishes. He’s often on RealNews and Democracy Now.

How do you mean? The whole point is to encourage people, everyone, to pay taxes. It’s a great system. Taxes enforcement should be truly independent from all other agencies to maximize trust and honesty.

The IRS normally doesn’t share files with anyone. Don’t you know the old saying? The best way not to get caught as a drug dealer is to file your taxes.

If you look at my other comment, undocumented people in the US contribute over $90B in taxes every year!

You can’t tax them at all, at least officially, without giving them the authorization to work.

You should probably know that this isn’t correct at all. Undocumented immigrants do in fact pay income tax in the US. The IRS issues Individual Taxpayer Identification Number to everyone, regardless of status.

Regardless of immigration status, both resident and nonresident immigrants may have federal tax return and payment responsibilities under the Internal Revenue Code.

Undocumented immigrants paid nearly $97 billion in federal, state and local taxes in 2022, according to a July 2024 report , opens new tab by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP), which used data on taxpayers with ITINs to estimate tax revenue.

The ITEP report said undocumented immigrants contributed $59.4 billion to the federal government, including payments for federal income tax and federal social insurance such as Social Security, Medicare and Unemployment Insurance.

The IRS issues “Individidual Tax Identification Number” for undocumented immigrants who don’t have a social security number.

Mine isn’t :/

Yeah I have the same worry. We have a weighted blanket that we still haven’t washed and it bothers me. I don’t need to wash it regularly but it would be good to give it an initial wash after purchase, but I’m worried about damaging my front loader :(
