Cant imagine making 30 k a year and having to pay even 1600 in taxes. This is saying it will increase that much.

I mean, they're planning to gut the IRS so who would be able to come after us 🤷‍♀️

[-] notfromhere@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

Gutting of the IRS is only going to impact the massive headcount needed to go after tge billionaires. They’ll still have plenty of people for the poor people.

This is what no one gets... they already avoided most rich tax frauds cause it was too expensive to fight them in court... getting poor folk is easy.

But if none of us pay then it'll work itself out

What is enshittification?

The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source

The lifecycle of Big Internet

We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.

Embrace, extend and extinguish

We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.
