35. Why do people always go to the "stupidity" argument?

I understand the words that are coming off your keybaord. I just DISAGREE with them. I don't learn my political and policy views from wikipedia.

People did not see "the percentage of their income taken by taxes rise every time their income went up." Only the new part of the income gets taxed at the higher rate, so everyone still makes more money when they make more money. The higher rate doesn't apply to their whole income--so the vast majority of their income is taxed the SAME (barring a raise that more than doubles your prior income). Is there anything you don't understand about that? I won't assume so, unlike you.

BY THE WAY, wages have largely been stagnant since about 1990, and inflation has remained low. Minimum wages haven't even kept up with inflation, so the argument doesn't hold.

What I am saying is that we tax ourselves FAR LESS than we should. People just think it is more because the far right tells them they are taxed more. Keep repeating the meme if you want to.

It's my right to disagree with anti-tax propaganda.
