I think tiered tax brackets are fundamentally fine btw

just it should not be so high that earning millions is not worth it
like a 5% increase every 100k to a point
is fine
Dolf, I pay 40%
it's insane
and like, how it is handled so the first X dollars is one percent, then the next Y is another percent, and so on
is fine
it's a travesty
"The top marginal tax rate in 1960 was 91%, which applied to income over $200,000 (for single filers) or $400,000 (for married filers) – thresholds which correspond to approximately $1.5 million and $3 million, respectively, in today’s dollars. Approximately 0.00235% of households had income taxed at the top rate." literally during the golden age of the middle class
Pohato, do you not understand, how debilitating high taxes are
to the people... working for it
91% is insane
like, say first 100k is 30%, next 100k is 35%, next 200k is 40%, that seems fine
but 91%
fuck that
yes we know how brackets work
at least I assume everyone here knows
no one paid their taxes, so that's true
Mars
they are not stupid because they do not want to be taxed to hell
that's why Elon is going to blow it up
Pohato, tell me, why I should consent to working for 60% of the worth of my labour
let alone 9%
but why would I not, just work 1/10 of what I do now
that's my point
who cares
why would I, or any of my employees put in the work, if we reap none of the reward?
the feds are staying in their FEDERAL building, its 100% self defense
I don't hate all taxes, I like roads, and schools, and sewers, and everything else that allows society to function
fuck roads
also fuck kids
I hate, that we're treating the taxpyers as a money-printing machine
have you not watched the streams of these fucks mahlss
