- gnicholas 3y agoSorry, former tax lawyer. We tend to be fairly candid about the way the tax system works.
- 8note 3y agoHow else would you describe it? It's the same as if the government collected taxes from you, then paid you to do whatever thing you did
- mhb 3y agoI'd describe it as the government letting you do what you want with more money than it normally takes from you. If you had an employer that required you to pay it half your salary in January and gave it back to you in December along with the other half, would you say that it was kicking in half your salary for you to spend as you please?
