Actually, it's $418. And that's just the cherry on top, courtesy of American taxpayers, when 40% of Americans in the USA don't even have that much in your bank accounts after saving throughout your entire lives. 40% of Americans don’t have $400 in the bank for emergency expenses: Federal Reserve - ABC News (go.com) The enthusiasm of Americans to subsidize people in foreign countries, while the Americans you pretend to love do without, is one of the reasons so many American combat veterans went to bed on cold hard benches outside on a cold November Veteran's Day night while Zelensky and I retired to our soft warm beds indoors.

On the topic of American subsidies and fraud, what's really funny is how the FTX bankruptcy made the news right after voting ended in the mid-term elections, as if that's any coincidence. The #2 donor to Democrat politicians, second only to George Soros himself, is the boss of FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried. The Democrats voted to send billions to Ukraine, and the Ukrainian bureaucrats invested it into FTX instead of investing it in the Ukrainian armed forces. Bankman donated the money to Democrat politicians along with shifting $10 billion to his private company, and now the money is all gone and FTX is bankrupt. It's pretty funny to watch the reactions of people in the USA, like the guy in the video below.

LMAO you’re clueless on the actual value of money it would appear. Maybe @Velo Vol was right and you are making only $12k a year. But that’s ok since the cost of living in Korea is about half of what it is in the US that means you’re into big money, $24k a year 🤣🤡

Oh and I don’t blame you on the other three fourths of your post. I’d deflect away from your lack fiscal prowess too after your big flex turning out to be less that $25k USD equivalent and having to go half the way around the world for it. You should have stayed put you could be earning $15 bucks an hour flipping burgers now Brucey.

I'm an independent contractor.

(1) As an independent contractor, the 3.3% tax that you pay is a WITHHOLDING, not your total, actual tax obligation.

You are required to file a global tax return for your business earnings for the prior year.

"Independent service contract (business income) (비고용관계)
  • Called as independent contractor, freelancer, etc. (사업소득자, 프리랜서, 외주용역 등등)
  • Withholding tax rate is fixed – 3.3% in total for each payment
  • Each individual is required to file global income tax return for the previous year’s business income earning"
Source: The CL Accounting Corporation

(2) As an independent contractor, your ACTUAL tax rate is somewhere between 1% and 40%.

Grossed Income (in US $) Tax Rate (%)

Up to 12,000 1% + 0.6% local income tax
12,001 to 46,000 15% + 1.5%
46,001 to 88,000 24% + 2.4%
88,001 to 150,000 35% + 3.5%
150,001 to 500,000 38% + 3.8%
Above 500,000 40% + 4%

(3) This is apparently a common mistake made in Korea. You might wanna fix it before you get hit with a huge tax bill.

"If you are a full-time employee for a company in Korea, your company will most likely file taxes on your behalf. Therefore, you need to find out if you are a full-time worker or a freelancer (independent contractor). There have been many cases where English teachers thought they were salary employees but were actually independent contractors. (As they had a set working time, and the class schedules are controlled by the manager, it is very likely that they considered themselves as employees.) After two years, the Korean government contacted them with a huge bill for unfiled and unpaid taxes. Therefore, it is important to find out if you are an independent contractor as the tax office can impose up to five years of past taxes. Here are some clues that you are an independent contractor in Korea:

Clues you are an independent contractor in Korea
  1. You are paying only 3.3% in taxes.
  2. Don’t have health insurance coverage.
  3. You don’t get severance pay."

In Brucey’s defense it isn’t clear she's smart enough to realize she’s cheating.

FYP, per her avatar.

Also, clearly she didn't even comprehend a simple sniff test...

"I pay only 3% income tax in Korea".

Imagine if the United States allowed a bunch of Mexican citizens to work here, take our jobs, yet only pay a 3% income tax.

MmmmHmmmm.

Hey I’m all for maximizing tax avoidance that’s common sense. But willfully ignorant tax fraud is not a plan for success I’d guess 😂

I don't think it was the west that got this relationship wrong.

Officially this woman was listed as a pro-Russian federation annexation voter, probably.

I'm getting a distinct impression that all those Russian neighbors who wanted Ukrainian cities to become Russian aren't going to be welcome after the Russians are driven out. Makes you think the leftover "Soviet" rabble will become Russian camp followers ... at least, it they know what's good for them - don't think their Ukrainian neighbors are in a mood for any more of their BS (assuming any of the voting was ever real in the first place).

Hey @Rasputin_Vol, care to lecture us about the Christian values in Russia vis-a-vis the decadent and moribund west?

Funny how the more totalitarian governments treat recruits. The Nazi's and N Vietnamese chained AA gunners to their guns so they couldn't run away. The Russians seem to prefer executing their would be deserters.
