Attack on the Feds independence

This thread ought to convert some people if the past 35,397 political threads didn’t. Just like what politicians have been selling for decades…”I promise I’m different than the last one!”

Congratulations that kind of thinking is part of a bigger problem. We all lose when thats how people form their opinions.

This is so true. I’ve met some truly fascinating people in my life, 9 out of 10 of them I have no idea their political affiliation and it makes no matter at all to me. So sad it’s at the forefront of everyone’s brains anymore.

My god. Is there a standard deduction or do poor people really pay 25.5% on every dollar earned?

Depending on your income, household size and age, dependants, etc., you are entitled to tax breaks, child benefits, subsidized childcare, etc. So there's a good chance they are not paying that much taxes, but yes, some people would be taxed at that level.
