Seriously! I don't Understand Why US,UK & Canadians Peoples Earn Money Online???

Yes, the taxes are about 50% of the salary or more. Some of the people who have high salaries pay almost 70% of their income to taxes. A lot of people cheat and try to hide part of their income to avoid the high taxes. The taxes in our country are very high, and because of those high taxes we don't have to pay directly for the things that you pay for in other countries. Medical treatment is paid through the taxes and when you get ill you can get any kind of examinations, treatment or surgery without paying for it. Education is paid through taxes and you can study at university without paying. A lot of other things are also "free" (= paid through taxes)

what? did you mean your govt. get more than you from the hard work you've done? is it fair? I mean yes, govt. need taxes, but getting the bigger cut of the pie from the one who work hard for it doesn't seem fair at all...

Well... i think that's fair then... in my country each person is responsible for paying all their expenses. Our govt. didn't pay for medical and education, so i don't like if they get more from our hard work, but if i live in your country i probably willing to pay the taxes because i don't have to worry about my child's education and our family's health care expenses.

Sorry but, you're all really sorely mistaken about some things. A $15 - $20 hour cleaning job is virtually unheard of. You will get minimum wage $7.25 for most jobs including janitorial or maitenance. The $15 - $20 hour jobs are pretty much specialty work from people who individually request that work from you - that I have seen or in larger companies that are rare

It's worse outside of US. People say life is difficult now even in USA. But it matter if you start falling from high... or fall in an already weak country.

I think there are several valid points being made here. Most Americans who work in the service industry and warehouses are barely making it. $7.25 might sound like a lot for others, but when you consider the high cost of living in America, it is impossible to live on. Not everyone lives in an area with as high of rent as New York City...in my own area the cost of a one-bedroom apartment is $663 on average. That's a significant chunk of the paycheck, without even starting on food, gas, utilities, insurance, medical expenses, etc. However, I do agree that it is better to be poor in America than to be poor in a developing country. At least there are better services here and a higher standard of living even for the poor than in a lot of places. I am trying to earn online as an extra means to support myself, but I know that it is not enough on its own. However, I don't look down on it because it is a small amount. A dollar saved every day will become $365 after a year, which is nothing to be ashamed of. A lot of Westerners who make money online are trying whatever they can to help their financial state. It's certainly better than nothing. A lot of people are either unemployed or underemployed and they need all the help they can get.

You are correct, minimum wage is $7.25 per hour here and prices are ridiculous!!

The key word here is "when" he is working. He has been looking for a job for weeks now and cannot find one! When he has gotten one they laid him off within a couple weeks because they cannot afford to keep paying people! The economy here is terrible!! NO jobs!

And I also read that income inequality in US is even more than many of the developing nations. So, while some people make a lot of money and drive in big Limousines and have plush bungalows, others even barely manage to make a living.

*Basic

Not true, Lamb. All earned income from any source must be claimed on taxes. The $600 threshold is just the point at which sites have to send a 1099-MISC form to you and the IRS. http://www.irs.gov/uac/Reporting-Miscellaneous-Income

That wasn't an all-inclusive list of what needs to be reported, though... and further down the page it says Generally, the IRS considers all income received in the form of money, property or services to be taxable income unless the law specifically provides an exemption. I believe earning from online sites is considered work performed as an independent contractor, although I'm not 100% sure about that. I asked about it when I had my taxes done the first year I started earning online and was told that it needed to be reported unless it falls into one of the categories listed as exempt in Publication 525, Taxable and Nontaxable Income. I don't think anything I've earned online has fallen into the exempt categories, so I've always reported it. *shrug*

And really, our incomes are the same as yours (figuring that the costs of everything are about as much bigger ... $4 couldn't even pay for an inexpensive meal for the family here!)

I feel the same way

yeah, it is right...we like to spend time on the internet, then why don't we earn a little extra money from it...

Nice point dragon. For me this is the best response to this topic but choices differs and let the starter choose which one was the best response.
