Reply to comment by jschubart in Court ruling: High earners can't prevent media accessing their tax data. by FINCoffeeDaddy

If you'd like to make your tax returns public, you're free to do so. Open yourself up to public scrutiny if you'd like. For the rest of us, no thanks.

America is set up that way to facilitate oppression of the working class, nothing more. It's not about privacy, it's about making sure you don't know how hard you're getting the shaft compared to the guy you're working with, the guy you're working for, etc., including the fact that many of them are exploiting the system, leeching off your taxes and not paying their fair share.

The brainwashing is real though, that you believe it's about privacy.

You don't have to worry about that in America, they prefer you alive so you can exist as a wageslave for the corporate elite.

Yeah, as long as you aren’t too squeaky. They have no problem making an example out of the squeaky ones.

I doubt many would be scrutinizing my standard deduction...

That scrutiny did not seem to be an issue at all in other countries. Why the fuck would it be an issue here?
