I make 750k a year, give or take. I think I paid 150k in taxes, more or less, last year.
I would gladly pay 600k a year in taxes if it meant healthcare, education, housing, and food were secured for all.
Let me keep 20% of my work for luxuries I like, but the fact that I'm only paying like 20% is fucking criminal while people are starving in this country.
I recognize I'm differently wired and have different values than most, but like, there has to be a line between 20% and 80% tax rate that we can live with.
