    So much money being withheld from the economy because the government feels that like $250K (if that?) is a perfectly cromulent amount to max out the tax brackets at.

    Disgusting to think that somebody making $1,000,000,000 is being taxed the same percentage as somebody making $250,000.

      Most people will never make $250k/year in their working life… yet it’s also wild how many people are making so, so much more than that.

      The divide is crushing
