Chalkboard what is this
Ok, I read this today:
"On February 3, 1913, the states ratified the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It reads:
The Congress shall have the power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any concensus or enumeration.
The U.S. income tax is considered progressive because it taxes a larger percentage of income on higher-income taxpayers than on lower-income taxpayers.
Our communities receive public goods and services paid for by the federal government with money raised through income taxes. Governments use the money collected to pay for items such as public roadways, schools, and libraries. Tax revenue is also used to pay for services such as police and fire protection, subsidized school lunches, and defense funding."
LAST BUT NOT LEAST DEFENSE FUCKING FUNDING. Like let's not forget about that one, add it to the list after "school lunches". This is part of the 3 month H&R Block tax course I started today. I looked at the sentence again and thought how, "Governments use the money collected..." is a somewhat odd sentence since the whole context and actual material of the entire book is about how the U.S.A. handles taxes. I really can't pin down exactly the reason why this sentence stood out more from all the others.
Good thing I don't have a blog anymore. This is exactly the material I used to write about and I felt like a weird immature angry young kid reading it months later. I guess what I'm saying is that the Chalkboard feels like a safe place to fart. If that makes any sense.
