Arguably, it's better to pay higher taxes on a job that's protected than lower taxes on a job that you can't count on.

- chefandy 3y agoYeah. I totally get why people conceptually hate the idea of paying taxes, even if my values lead me to a very different conclusion. That said, most of the arguments I've encountered about places with higher taxes being worse places to live strike me as either glib and uninformed, or in bad faith. That's not a partisan-specific folly by any measure, but it's a folly nonetheless.
- xyzzyz 3y agoIt depends on how high the taxes are and what protection is offered exactly. The extra protections I would get in California are not worth nearly enough for it to be worth for me.
- borski 3y agoAnd that’s ok! But those protections are worth it for a lot of other people. :)
- johnnyanmac 3y agoIt is an honest argument. No point in a secure job that can't even pay rent. But people with families can't exactly engage in multi job hustles and expect to remain a healthy unit.
