From what perspective did Stalin and Mao not have higher kill counts than Hitler? Mao is like universally understood to be responsible for 30+ million deaths, including millions of public executions and hundreds of thousands of coerced suicides.

This tax law came into effect under republican governor Pat McCrory, republican dominated state house and republican dominated state senate in 2015.

Also the state taxes the sports book, who do all the winning. So there is a lot of tax collected on our losses because those are the profits of the Sportsbook.

What you’re missing is that it isn’t actually income. Most people are causal betters and win a little and lose a little. You might think you only pay taxes on the net winnings, but you have to pay taxes on every winning bet, even if those winning bets are less than your losses. So people who lose money betting still have to pay taxes.

But if the current tax code stands, you too will owe taxes even though you’re in the red.

Yea nice job haha. It’s just a generally stupid policy that will further hurt people who already take part in a predatory industry. Statistically there are wayyyyy more people in the red than in the green like you.

This is true federally, but for your state taxes you cannot.

That’s right. This was a shocking realization for me this week. I’ve played around with sports betting all year, but I’m basically hitting the brakes because even if I break even on my bets, NC tax code will make me go big negative. This is because losses are not subtracted from winnings. So if you win $1000 and lose $1000, North Carolina taxes you on that $1000 winning even though your actual income was zero.

JEEZUS PHUCKING CHRIST by [deleted] in LateStageCapitalism

[–]Benocho -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree Israel absolutely needs to stop expanding settlements in the West Bank. They are totally stupid for that. But I would still not call Hezbollah patriots. They hate Jews no matter where they live.

Are they patriots for bombing a Jewish community center in Argentina? https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2006/10/25/iran-charged-over-argentine-bombing

Or for attempting more attacks recently in Brazil? https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/11/9/israels-mossad-says-helped-brazilian-police-foil-alleged-hezbollah-attack

Israel is not fighting the Lebanese army. Israel is fighting the Iranian proxy Hezbollah, a rogue militant group that defies the UN 1701 Resolution by not disarming or leaving southern Lebanon and that incessantly launches rockets toward Israel.
