>>519375673THEY ADMIT IT THEMSELVES:Foreign worker on Blind: "Should I delay my H1B to avoid $10k in taxes?"Response: "Just don't file it and save on taxes"They see your Social Security taxes as optional.You see them as mandatory.https://www.teamblind.com/post/got-h1b-in-first-year-skip-applying-to-avoid-fica-p3w52rnv
>>519375703Here's a foreign worker on Reddit, complaining about finally having to pay the same taxes as you:>"I just won the H1B visa lottery. Now that I have to start paying Social Security and Medicare taxes like an American, should I ask my company for a RAISE to cover it?"The responses are even more telling:>"Don't mention FICA... Just ask for a raise based on your performance... you can bring this up on the side.">"Correct, nothing wrong in asking... but expect BIG eyerolls from HR. Gotta pay US taxes now unfortunately."FICA stands for the Federal Insurance Contributions Act. This U.S. federal law mandates that employers withhold taxes from employee paychecks to fund Social Security and Medicare programs.LET THAT SINK IN:1. They get a multi-year tax break you never see.2. The moment they're forced to contribute like everyone else, their first thought is, "How do I make my American employer cover my new tax bill?"3. They strategize on how to hide the real reason and pretend it's about "performance."They see paying into the system that funds our retirees and healthcare as a personal financial loss to be recovered. Not a civic duty. Not the cost of living in a first-world country. A pay cut.This is the entitled mindset you're competing against.https://www.reddit.com/r/h1b/comments/1cmqwc0/salary_increase_because_fica_taxes/
>>519375673This doesn't account for homeowners and banks inflating property values so they can gouge on rental and sale prices. It's just one of 1000 bullshit scams raising real estate prices.Most houses are grossly neglected and not nearly worth what they are on paper. Banks have loans leveraged on abandoned homes that are completely unlivable and collapsing, yet they are somehow worth $300,000+.
>>519375737THE GASLIGHTING PLAYBOOK:They'll say:>"It's just tax optimization!">"We pay more tuition!">"You're just a loser!"They can't argue the $41,454 math, so they attack you personally.Stay focused on the numbers.
>>519375937This is the NEW scam - foreign workers with a $40k government handout OUTBIDDING you for those overpriced shitholes.The banks inflate prices while temporary workers get tax advantages to pay those inflated prices. They're not competing scams - they're working together to fuck you from both sides.Stay focused. We can fight the banking cartel AND the immigration scam at the same time. But first we need to expose this $41,454 advantage they don't want you knowing about.
>>519376209>illegal immigration and fake refugees have ruined americaIm so fucking sick of "legal" immigrants being left out of the accusations. Just fucking kill me and get it over with
>>519376497"Illegals" are the controlled opposition - the distraction they WANT you focusing on while "legals" systematically replace you with government-approved tax advantages."Illegals" take service jobs. "Legals" take your tech career, your future, and your house with a $41,454 head start.Wake the fuck up. The real invasion doesn't climb fences - it arrives on student visas with pre-approved work permits and tax exemptions.
>>519376654Op, really appreciate you. These threads are kill shots and IMO crucial, of the highest import. These systemic "flaws" are there by design, without question, to turn up the tikkun olam turn-over in our country. It is beyond mere treason - it is a direct attack on the american people, quite literally an act of war on our soil carried out by enemies within.
