I don’t care who it was the tax rate for, a 70% tax rate is stupid. Takes any incentive for working beyond a certain point out which stifles innovation and is the death of a growing and cutting edge society.
Tell me you don’t understand tax brackets without saying you don’t understand tax brackets.
I fully understand tax brackets. I’m an Executive Director over a multi million dollar organization and core member of the financial and accounting teams, responsible for auditing income statements and the like. I also own a private business and do all the accounting and payroll myself.
The real problem here is, I’m a proud capitalist, and seem to have wandered into communist and/or socialist lemmy communities on accident because this post showed up on my home feed for some unknown reason. Pardon my making sense. I’ll see myself out.
Yeah, what would we ever do without today’s billionaires? I can’t imagine a world without guys like Elon Musk spending their endless money on controlling narratives on social media instead of contributing a much larger share to social programs and infrastructure. He’s always finding ways to innovatively call people pedos, and without that, we’d be much worse off as a society.
