The well known land of the free where there are definitely no income taxes, federal taxes, state taxes, property taxes, payroll taxes, capital gains taxes, estate taxes, inheritance taxes, or local sales taxes which aren't displayed included in the price displayed on the shelf.
Let's just hope you don't get shot and need healthcare.

ive never been to a doc in my adult life outside of emergency treatment and the army.
never had health insurance because i cant afford $300 taken out of my check(s)
thought id be fine and others just had weak genes.
nope, i have corneal erosion at 29, and if my eye rips im out of work for 3-5 days because i literally cant see... i have to see a specialist when it rips and i basically lose my job every time it happens.
surgery has a small chance of fixing it but its 10k per eye and ill be blind eventually without it.
no point in worrying about retirement now ig

If only you had some sort of National Health Service paid through small tax contributions by the general population that could solve such problems without bankrupting the average adult.
But that's stupid and would never work.
ohelm@reddit
I have this and just wear a contact lens overnight, have had 1 erosion in 3 years of doing this. But maybe yours is worse, mine is a small one from a twig in my eye.
Xivilai7@reddit
And add tip to all those purchases too
shjahaha@reddit
you know you can choose to not tip right?
SiberianAssCancer@reddit
And get attacked by the 45 year old cigarette smoke drenched single mother wearing Cookie Monster pyjamas as she serves you at the local diner? And risk the heroin addict making your burgers running out and kicking your ass? Sure
JollyJamma@reddit
Sometimes people want more than the tip though
pureteckle@reddit
The bonus added on tax!
FlyUnder_TheRadar@reddit
Get gud and move to a state with no income tax like South Dakota. The drawback is having to live in South Dakota.
Play174@reddit
Or you could live in NH and the only drawback is living in Massachusetts's summer home
Egg_Yolkeo55@reddit
Washington and Florida as well.
Walter_Padick@reddit
& Texas
Merry_Dankmas@reddit
And Tennessee
hazzmg@reddit
In the states u regards don’t even post the tax on the item. It gets added to the bill at the end at the register.
pureteckle@reddit
That's literally not even in question. It's the fact that it exists.
It's the same idea as VAT, but at least we build it into the advertised price.
cozywit@reddit
You don't pay tax on selling your home.
ohelm@reddit
You do if you have more than one.
cozywit@reddit
That's a second house. Not your home.
eossfounder@reddit
Depends, you pay capital gains tax on selling a home if you own more than one.
VirtualPantsu@reddit
Although some taxes are ridiculous, no taxes will make our life significantly worse. Roads breaking down, no cheap public transport, no financial aid for small businesses, no free Healthcare.
degenerate661@reddit
All this shit is genuinely getting worse in the uk tho
PussyDeconstructor@reddit
Im paying taxes and roads are breaking down, public transport isnt cheap, aid for small buisnesses is hard to obtain and public healthcare is a joke.
Not paying taxes would make my life significantly better.
Personal-Weekend-582@reddit
ah yes the US, this famous tax free heaven
octofeline@reddit
Gotta pay Israel somehow
ClassicHat@reddit
Just gotta be either really poor or really rich, then not only will you not pay taxes, but the government will even give you free shit, potentially millions in subsidies for your otherwise unprofitable business
smilinsuchi@reddit
Tax free? Nope , way better than Western Europe? Yes
Greedy_Basketcase@reddit
Us has the worst kind of taxes. The hidden tax
Low_Abrocoma_1514@reddit
Uncle Sam needs to bomb countries my dude
steelcity91@reddit
Just move to Monaco. Tax haven. Downside, have to deal with French.
gereffi@reddit
Looking at healthcare costs plus taxes, the US takes a much larger share of income than the UK does.
ohelm@reddit
You must earn an absolute pittance for this to be true. Skill issue.
Shitebart@reddit
When will Americans stop LARPing that they live in some kind of Libertarian utopia
AlphaMassDeBeta@reddit (OP)
Wouldn't you agree that it is the best country in north America though?
Ihrn-Sedai@reddit
No
MeBustYourKneecaps@reddit
Then why do people keep coming here?
Seriously why? I need to know where they came from so when I leave this place I don't move there
Ihrn-Sedai@reddit
Cuz it’s an easy option and other places are worse
Sovietwheelchair@reddit
Calling American immigration “easy” is crazy. It can take anywhere from a year to 6 years to get a green card, and the citizenship takes 10 years.
Ihrn-Sedai@reddit
Easier than crossing an ocean
Merry_Dankmas@reddit
My fiance is Hispanic and a lot of her family wasn't born in the US. The amount of hoops and bullshit they have to jump through just to get a fucking job - not even citizenship - is crazy. Idk if it's a problem with other nationalities trying to come in but at least according to her, immigration lawyers who help with all the legal stuff and paperwork and filings and whatnot charge egregious fees and basically scam people a lot because they can. Want your citizenship? I suddenly remember I have an additional $3000 charge I have to slap on top of the original $10,000 charge. They basically take advantage of people trying to get their citizenship.
AlphaMassDeBeta@reddit (OP)
Really?
I mean, Mexico is Mexico and Canada is becoming like Mexico.
kawaiikhezu@reddit
Go outside
2210-2211@reddit
I'd pick Canada over the US any day if I had to move country
HalfwaySh0ok@reddit
Probably the best in central north america
Venn720@reddit
When when Europeans stop LARPing that they live in some kind of socialist utopia
RetardedSheep420@reddit
no european does that lmao
PussyDeconstructor@reddit
"move from a country with a shit ton of taxes to one with even more taxes"
Vulperius@reddit
Anon hates having to pay into the society he benefits from.
Loud-Virus-6093@reddit
To be fair, you got to be wondering where the money even goes. Certainly not in health care, when the gp keeps telling me to go die in a ditch anytime I'm sick
JollyJamma@reddit
Be American
Buy something
Have to work out tax manually to see if you can actually afford it because reasons
Individual_Spread219@reddit
Give us your poor, your tired, your huddled masses or however that old saying went
gooberphta@reddit
Nah mate they wanna build a boder to stop exactly that
ErnestGoesToHeck@reddit
Give me a side of ranch with that
Rhettledge@reddit
Americans are burdened by the same bullshit in different wrapping.
Haunting_Training_59@reddit
Bruh anon should move here to Iraq we have like 5 tax laws and he can buy quality alcohol for a fair price in some cities
AlphaMassDeBeta@reddit (OP)
Thats haram.
Haunting_Training_59@reddit
Drinking toilet water is also haram but you don't see me stopping you
AlphaMassDeBeta@reddit (OP)
Where does it say in le quran that drinking toilet water is haram?
lpinhead01@reddit
"And do not drink from the water of the toilet, for indeed it is impure and defiled, a source of harm to the body and soul. Verily, it is a manner of foolishness, and Allah does not love those who engage in foolishness." (Qur'an, 7:54.)
<<wla tushrabuu min ma' alkhala' fa'iinah rajs najsi mudirin liljasad walnafsi, fa'iinah min alsufaha', wallah la yuhibu alsufaha'. " (alqrani, 7:54).
this dumbass doesn't even read the scriptures
m50d@reddit
There's no paying up after you leave. Ironically America is one of literally two countries that does that.
Dog_Apoc@reddit
Low_Abrocoma_1514@reddit
No one tell anon we pay taxes in America
_Bako101@reddit
Replace "tax" with "tips" for the American version
