同意低收入者应先扣除生活成本再纳税。

中文翻译

“Jeff Bezos 说美国低收入者应该零纳税。” 我其实同意这个观点,但实施上有些细节: 低收入者应该被允许先扣除所有生活开支,再缴税。 就像富人能把很多东西作为商业开支或避税结构来抵扣一样。 低收入公民的大多数“生活成本”来自房租、医疗、食物、汽油、车贷/大学学费、孩子等。 即使在这些之后,他们仍按原始收入缴税。 一个低收入者只是努力生活,最后还欠税,这感觉有点蠢。

英文原文

“Jeff Bezos says low earners in the US should pay zero tax” I actually agree this this with some nuance on implementation: Low earners should be allowed to deduct all their living expenses before paying tax. Just like how the wealthy are able to write off a lot of things as business expenses or tax sheltered structures: Majority of “living costs” for low income citizens come from rent, healthcare, food, gas, car loans/college tuition, kids, etc. Even after all that they’re paying tax on their original income. Feels a little stupid to have low income earners owe money after just trying to live.
