Unpopular opinion but people making $200k-$500k shouldn’t be paying 40-50% in taxes. Make billionaires pay more. The “petit bourgeoisie” is not real.

Wouldn’t say opinion is that unpopular, think for the most part people would agree with you. Billionaires are the ones that are at this abnormal level of wealth and control a lot of things. What you’re describing in a lot of places is just upper middle class

I agree, doctors and lawyers aren't the bad guys. The Zuckerbergs and Musks are. There's actually bad guys out there, they're not hiding in country clubs they're hiding in bunkers and in secluded second and third houses.

I got a job in NYC making $134k and im paying a fucking third of my income in taxes. Fucking insane for how little I’m getting in return.

I assume you’re factoring local and state tax? Isn’t the top marginal tax rate 37%?

I can see this. I think a lot of time politicians always run on “cutting your taxes” when they be lying most of the time which yes it’s great to have lower taxes but how those taxes are ALLOCATED I would argue is more important. There are countries out there with high tax rates but people don’t mind because their basic needs are met with it, making it worth it. Tax allocation is what we should be grilling these politicians about more than we are
