As a programmer and my wife is a doctor, I’m in the upper brackets. But I don’t care. Also happy to see the millionaires losing even more money!

In my eyes, $3000 goes a long way for someone struggling!

I am in upper brackets, too - I’m happy to pay more if someone who is struggling doesn’t have to.

Dodging taxes is unpatriotic.

I think intentionally avoiding taxes should be a very serious crime. It’s stealing from everyone.

So have a look at what amount of taxes the rich in the US (don’t) pay, and you know how patriotic they are.

I guess I am too, maybe it’s my nouveau-ness (not that I’m anywhere near “rich”), but I don’t understand why the attitude isn’t “just go make more money”? (Keeping in mind we’re talking about people who don’t need the money for subsistence and are clearly capable of generating cash)

That’s because anyone with even a shred of empathy would rather live in a healthy society for relatively cheap.

It’s not losing, it’s sharing.

Same. Oh no I’ll have to cook at home a few more times per year. How will I survive.

Yeah, I would pay less under Trump and so would everyone in my area. The brackets that would pay less under Kamala can’t afford to live here. Still a very blue area.
