Taxes on Canadians working two jobs 'indecent': Montreal Economic Institute study | SaltWire : canada | :soyconsoomer: "Why doesn't this 23 year old working 60 hour weeks understand that getting taxed progressively (and therefore paying more taxes) is actually a good thing???"

I'm confused… isn't this just progressive tax? Like if she was making the same (total) compensation at one job instead of two, she'd pay the same tax. So what she's arguing for is that she should pay less tax because she's working two jobs to get the same level of income, instead of one?

Yea and it fricks over poorcels to the point many will only take other jobs if paid in cash.

Feels kind of unreal to read about someone that has to work 60 hour weeks to make ends meet advocate against progressive tax rates.

Yea cuz like why wood u not like paying lots of tax?

!leafs why are our country men such smug pricks?

"I didn't realize I'd be taxed more, the more I worked, so it was a bit of a learning curve," said Brown, 23, who'd been working at Fredericton Homeless Shelters full-time and part-time as a caterer and bartender at banquets. "I remember calling my parents and saying, 'I never thought this would happen when I got a second job.' I was expecting the opposite. I was working so much, I thought I'd get much further ahead, but I guess I was naïve."

Doesn't Germany and some other europoor states do the opposite of this and tax you higher just for taking a second job to try and not be so poor?

In my country a second job gives you the top marginal tax rate for that job. Meaning some poor working his second job is literally getting taxed at something like 33%. It's embarrassingly bad and yeah, it means the poors just work for cash.

It's actually better now to collect welfare and work for cash than to earn minimum wage even.

What country? This doesn't make any sense. I could understand withholding at the top marginal tax rate so they don't get fricked at tax time and end up with a refund.

Not sure where the confusion is tbh. If she was working one job and getting paid as much as these two jobs, she'd have 24-20 hours extra a week and wouldn't want to :marseymaid:.

Does this redditard not get that she can't afford to live on one full-time job because Canada is an expensive shithole where labour is downvalued because of suicidal immigration and that subsequently getting taxed out your butthole when you try to get a second job to make ends meet is a problem?

Progressive tax rates are fine when their calibrated to not create working poor.

It sucks working that many hours and not getting any OT, but you can't expect the employers to pay any time and a half, nor should tax payers, so what are you gonna do?

>The institute distinguishes between people who do a lot of overtime or contract work and people with two jobs. People who do overtime, it says, often earn time and half or double pay. Contract workers are often self-employed and eligible for tax deductions.

Hmm :marseythinkorino: this isn't a bad comparison but overall I'm not sure if taxation should be split by jobs

>why are our country men such smug pricks?

You have to ask, OP? These people never worked overtime in their life
