      Bracketed income tax is a thing for a reason, and it is a good reason.

      more income == more tax.

      If I’m making less than $20k/year, there’s no reason to give a shit about my taxes, just let me live yo.

      If I’m making $200k+/year, then we have a conversation on our hands.

      If I’m making 2,000k+/year, then we have a problem and the conversation should have have been completed by now.

      edit:

      exact numbers are not relevant. if you have a functioning brain, then you know what I mean.

      With state taxes, my top tax rate is above 40 percent. Are we counting healthcare and social security as taxes too? Where’s muh proper country?!
