      Also VAT is just wrong. It makes it seem like you have to pay for every improvement, which is only true if every improvement is being made by a different company.

      This thing seems more like a tirade against taxes wrapped up in “educational” packaging.

        There’s other stupid things as well, such as with income tax as something companies have to pay, when it’s actually paid by the employee as well as VAT is directly paid by consumer.

        This all seems like something a person with good intentions but zero clue crafted up. Or maybe the intention is to show “hey look how much companies are paying taxes so that you don’t have to”

          And payroll taxes being for roads and schools when they’re really for healthcare and retirement (social security).
