Fun Fact #2: taxes were originally only supposed to be collected on 2% of income higher than $4,000 (or about $150k by today’s standard). Now the lowest tax bracket is a 10% rate on anything less than $11,600. That means if you are living on less than $1k/month, the government will still collect 10% + social security + Medicare. All while Jeff Bezos paid 1.1% income tax last year.
Ughhh this reminds me. I gotta do my taxes 😣
