People Who Work from Home Should Pay a New Tax, Economists Suggest

[Wildin]

All white people do is sit around and figure out how to take more money from people, how to kill people and hating people.

They really want to slap another tax on the middle class worker?

Get around that by having an office at work.

So they want them to pay a new tax because they likely aren’t spending as much extra money!

Bingo

A lot of people saved alot of money working from home.

Pay less gas, less wear and tear on the car, less starbucks and morning coffees, eat food at home, less need to buy clothes and things to impress at parties, events, going out. Less dating out, no BS brunches, club cover charges, over priced drinks, student loans on holds so people paid off credit card debt earlier etc

But this is a spending economy. So....tax

He calculates that this would roughly raise about $48 billion per year for a fund that would be used to issue $1,500 grants to fellow citizens who’ve fallen on hard times.

I hope im reading this wrong but..Tax WFH people to give people who fell on hard times a $1500 grant?
As in a one time payment of $1500? Thats it?

 

[Wildhundreds]

Hell they should be giving us tax BREAKS instead for helping the environment and also having to pay more since I had to upgrade my internet. That being said because we don’t drive anywhere and don’t have car notes we eating good on not having to make car maintenance/repairs since they are sitting still. We might be able to run out the clock on our gas powered cars and flip them for the new electric lawns VW/Audi bringing in

Deutsche Bank economist said this dumb shyt.

In other words, people working from home might not be gassing up their car, buying a cup of coffee, hiring a daycare, picking up lunch, or any of the other things that come with commuting to and from work. Providing those types of services is what keeps a large chunk of the rest of the workforce employed and the report proposes a tax on anyone who chooses to work from home in order to pool money for the people who are struggling with lost opportunities.

Templeman believes that a $10 tax per WFH day would be reasonable for a person in the U.S. making $55,000 a year. He calculates that this would roughly raise about $48 billion per year for a fund that would be used to issue $1,500 grants to fellow citizens who’ve fallen on hard times.

that's like $270 a month, roughly 3k per year in additional taxes
