I do not care about that low tax bracket, but in MY tax bracket (6 figures), I will be paying a lot less in Russia.
Zeepers are all of what you said.
Would you have an indoor toilet if you moved to Russia, too?
Most things were good and life was getting better on both sides of their border until Vlad Putin turned it all into one big killing field.
The only win now is for Putin to lose and take his war back home and that loss is coming, too, at 500-900+ Russian casualties a day.
The average Russian must be wondering why … “why are we Russians invading and killing our neighbors when the neighbors weren’t bothering us at all. They were our family and friends and now we are doing this to them? Wtf, over?”
What about the fact that Americans that love their country care more about our problems than whatever is going on in Russia don't you understand?
What is the USA income tax rate on someone making $11k a year?
“ The latest data from the U.S. NY Empire State Manufacturing Index paints a grim picture, with March’s figures plummeting to -20.9, indicating a rapid decline in the sector. Every indicator spells trouble: new orders dwindle, inventories shrink, employment drops, and optimism wanes, signaling broader economic distress…..”
Perhaps you should take note of the latest US economic figures…..yes, Russia gets stronger every day- while the US is getting closer to the “ brink” every day.
Like it or not- the US debt to GDP is 120 percent and increasing exponentially….the Russian Federation debt to GDP at 17 percent.
It doesn’t take a genius to see where this goes.
Again, who’s going to pay for that third of trillion bonfire you want to keep stoking?
Speaking of income, the Russians total subsidy for social programs is estimated to be $12 billion in ‘24. From Statista
“The volume of social benefits paid to the Russian population from the federal budget of the country was estimated to steadily grow over the coming years, increasing by over 2.8 times between 2020 and 2024. Out of nearly 1.1 trillion ($12 billion) Russian rubles allocated for welfare payments in 2024, 330 billion Russian rubles were estimated for maternal capital financing.”
In ‘23 the U.S. spent $1.4 T on Social Security, $1.5 T on Medicare and Medicaid and $1.2 T on welfare
What’s the average U.S. family income minus all those financed handouts and the money we retirees invested in Social Security and Medicare, which was promptly burnt on the bonfires of trillions wasted on the last globalist/neocon misadventures in Iraq and Afghanistan, and now must be borrowed?
>Continuing to demilitarize Russia with less than 5% of our defense budget is the bargain of the century.<
A bargain for your globohomo hero Zelensky and The Big Guy, that’s who, certainly not the taxpayers of this country.
What part of “WE’RE BROKE” don’t zeepers understand?
Good, move there then.
A drop in the bucket to demilitarize Russia. And most of the money stays home anyway and supports well-paying US defense modernization jobs in almost all of our states.

When I go to the grocery store and see how much it costs to feed my family thanks to the Biden Regime’s policies, I couldn’t care less about “demilitarizing” RuZZZZZZZZZia.
If the RuZZZZZZZian economy is as bad as you claim, I don’t have to worry about RuZZZZZZZZia’s military.
Must be a Democrat.
I read report by Tucker from his visit to Russia. He claims Russian cities are 1000% safer than big cities in USA. I grew up using outdoor toilets in out-houses. Safety of my life is much more paramount than indoor toilet. I feel safe in my small town, but I avoid visiting Chicago where I spent most of my life.
RUSSIA: Is paying for their own war, and because it's expensive they are raising taxes on their citizens to cover the cost.
UKRAINE: Has no economy or money and is begging for everyone else to pay for their war. The US Democrats, RINOs and NeoCons have so far agreed to do so. At a time the country is already running huge budget deficits, resulting in the highest inflation rates in 40 years. Americans are getting poorer to pay for Ukraine's war:
A List of American Taxpayer Funds sent to Ukraine since the start of the Russian-Ukrainian Conflict:
One of these I care about, the other really isn't my concern. Can you Zeepers figure out which one normal Americans are concerned about?
Bonus Questions for Zeepers:
More propaganda.
