    I agree with your sentiment but that’s not how taxes work… Only the money after 578k is at taxed at 37%… So the first 22k is taxed as 10% even if you make a billion dollars.

      How is that proving my point any less? You are absolutely right those fucking billionaires way more than $578k every day and yet the person who pays at 10% is going to feel that tax burden so much more than someone making a million dollars!
