Example :
on a $878. – social security income, the income tax payment for the year 2023 is for federal tax $861.- and for state tax $1,317.-
The tax preparation consumed 3 month of income, the federal payment was made from April’s income and the state tax is being paid by May’s and June’s income.
For June there is a $4.23 intrest charge and a $143.30 penalty on the late payment for the state income tax.
This amount of taxation doesn’t make any sense anymore. Luckily there is not enough money left to buy a gun to shoot yourself because all the money is sent already to battlefields where they are killing each other.
What are we paying taxes for, to finance illegal wars?
the intrest charged of $4.23 is 0.32% intrest, however the penalty of $143.30 is an additional 10.88%.
From my point of view, the taxpayer, the penalty is unconstitutional and in the category of arbitrariness and abuse of power. If it is practically necessary why not raise the intrest, because it would not be approved.
This unfairness of the penalties is also a method used in Europe. It creates a feeling of unfairness, helplessness, swoon or impotence. Therefore it is plausible, that conditioning is associated with it, therefore I call it penalty impotence conditioner.
