and well european taxes might be higher but i believe we have a higher living standard than usa?
While what you are saying is true.
Take into account, how is it fair if someone 21 ish pays 50% of taxes on his income (which lets go insanely big here, and assume i make 4x more in 2012 then i made in 2011 and make 400K$ post rakeback)
i have to pay 200K$ to taxes.
Yet, i cant deduct anything, dont have health insurance, dont have work stability, and dont even have a pension, and get less respect from society then 90% of other professions, because my job is, "not a real job."
i think taxes are reasonable, but i think we should have the same priviliges of other tax paying institutions / self employed people.
Have health insurance, be able to deduct bussiness expenses (bootcamps, plain tickets, software, computers, computer chairs, and anything else you can come up with)
etc etc
Im not saying taxes are ridiculous, im saying the current system and the way pokerstars is handling it for belgium, as well as the way the belgian government is going about it, is rediculous and non professional.
