An oldie but a goodie

One thing that the Swedish government has realized is that if you want people to pay tax, make it as easy as possible, people hate paperwork, minimize that crap.

I pay more tax than I need to, just so I won't need to worry about back taxes, I just get a tax return instead, less paperwork and logistics.

I firmly believe that people don't hate paying taxes, they hate the related paperwork

Here in Brazil the government does the same. But it's often wrong...

It's still helpful, but well, I wish I didn't have to check every little detail.

I think the joke is more focused on the problem that you'll have to precisely count and report every single one of them.

Average healthy adult breathes 12-20 times a minute (those are the numbers we carry around with us in healthcare). So at the upper end, 20b/minx60min/hrx24hr/day gives you $1,440.00 a day. If we count even the impact of your foot while running as steps (does a specific word for that exist? I don't know. In my head a step comes from walking...), a good pace is 3 steps / second. Go for a good 30 minute run, and you get 3st/sec * 60sec/min * 30min for a whopping total of 5400 steps, or $1,350.00. Move around your house while cooking, cleaning, getting the kids/pets/lover where they need to be, and you might end up a bit better off than the breathing. My average steps just around the house add up to 5k-6k, I believe.

The IRS can lick my balls if I'm being paid in cash under the table though.

Meanwhile in Norway:

If you don't have any corrections literally do nothing and just ignore this lmao

You think you stole my meme, but jokes on you I ALREADY STOLE IT FROM SOMEONE ELSE.

while I'm here i might as well say, you can probably make way more with steps than you ever could breathing, so long as you stay healthy.

I might make it a 9 to 5 marathon each two days or so, invest the money to retire early, and if i ever need more money I can just run again, it's more healthy too v:

So why is this same meme posted twice?

I would kill a man for taxes that simple. Holy fuck.

The IRS is a complete shitshow by design, and it’s largely because Intuit et al lobbies (read: bribes) politicians like crazy to keep tax code complicated, so that they can continue to have a business model.

Send more blue shells; we need ‘em.

Fun fact, it is not uncommon for people to file their taxes on the bus to work through their mobile phone.

That's not true. 10k steps a day is less than a million in a year.

10k steps a day is roughly 5 miles. $4k a day would be the disability insurance at that point.

In the UK, unless you're self employed, you don't have to do anything at all.

You might just receive a letter saying HMRC either owes you money or you owe them money.

self employed

or have child benefit. If you earn over a certain amount, they ask you to refund that benefit through self assestment.

still tho, it's grand. I once paid too much tax and got back a cheque

Racking up coin while I sleep? Yes please! Good luck with your sleep walking.

Hold up, you're right! For some reason i multiply what i would get a month by...365, and not 12. Whoops.

[email protected]

it's literally my mortal enemy /s

I don't walk as much as you, but if someone was paying me 25 cents per step I'd probably respond to that incentive by walking way more than 10 miles a day.

Me:
4,6 seconds to make an avarage breath cycle.
About 4000 steps on an avarage day.

After 1 year I would get ~343.000 €/$ for breathing
or 365.000 €/$ for walking.

So yes it is better to get the money for walking but what if I ever lose the ability to walk but not to breath?
