Biden promises no increased taxes on anyone making under $400k


The number of upvotes on this and people that don’t realize this particular change isn’t a tax increase is concerning

The amount of people that dont understand a progressive tax system is alarming at the least.

I guess its expected though

The standard deduction is so high now that unless you are up to your eyeballs in mortgage debt you will never be able to itemize

So a household income of $350K only pays 2% more taxes than a $120K? frick Biden and the a-holes who “mail in voted” for this tPOS
By my quick calculations on my phone (so more likely to make an error), assuming these refer to taxable income after all deductions, and for married filing jointly, and no credits or anything, the $350k family will owe $70,800 in taxes for an effective tax rate of about 20% (on taxable income) while the $120k family will owe $17,015 in taxes for an effective tax rate of about 14%.

So if by 2% you really meant >300% more in taxes, then yes, you’re correct.

Hell, the number of people that don't understand how payroll deductions work and thing they are getting "free" money when they get a tax refund is bad enough. "I don't pay taxes, they give me money every year". They don't realize it's their money they are getting back and they aren't getting all of it back.

I really wish people had to cut a check each month for taxes. Most people don't realize how much they pay. You don't have to make very much for it to be your largest monthly expense.

I'm still waiting for someone to post that they refused a raise because they "didn't want to take home less by being in a higher tax bracket."

Basic taxes should be required teaching in high school.

After one month, one of two things would happen.

1) a revolution

2) a dramatically reduced cash flow to the treasury as half or more taxpayers “could not afford” to mail in their check.

I’m ok with either one
