Liberals eat this shite up.


They honestly think if you earn $1 you pay more than someone making over $400k

I'm guessing they are talking as a percentage of total income.

A household making $100k may be paying a larger tax burden as a percentage of their income than a household making over $1 million annually.

If you take the total taxes on payroll, real estate and personal property, gasoline, food, etc. paid by a household making $100k/year and compare that to a household making $1 million/year the household making $100k is likely paying more in taxes as a percentage of their annual income vs a household making $1 million/year.
