re: The Deficit Has Never Been This High When the Economy Was This Strong

Now take that same example and apply it to a hard working middle class person that most posters here fall into at some point in your lives.

Now, in addition to the 15.3% in taxes, you also get to pay 3-4% in State income taxes on your hard earned money and also another 10-20% in effective federal income tax depending on how far up the ladder you are.

The average middle class tax payer pays in a much larger % of their wages in federal taxes than the rich.


Not sure why Trumpsters can't see that? They just applaud their orange god for cutting even more taxes on the rich to the point that many of them now pay little to nothing in taxes, living it up, while putting the burden on the middle class.


You can see how knowledgeable middle class tax payers get frustrated with their fellow middle class voters continuing to reward republicans to office that keep this unfair tax system alive, mainly to ban abortion which will never happen for any length of time.
