How much was it exactly? I thought it was 2.5 trillion but someone later said it was only half a trillion that disappeared in 15 minutes. This is apparently important because if you get the number wrong you're as big a liar as bernie sanders

Do you guys remember Obama's tax structure had a benchmark at 250k, so there were lawyers and dentists etc trying to cut their income below 250k in order to avoid paying more taxes. Either due to sheer malice/fighting the man, or because in this country you can earn 250k+ and still not understand what a marginal progressive tax is

https://www.google.com/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/Business/Economy/story%3fid=6975547&page=1

quote:

Dr. Sharon Poczatek, who runs her own dental practice in Boulder, Colo., said that she too is trying to figure out ways to get out of paying the taxes proposed in Obama's plan.

"I've put thought into how to get under $250,000," said Poczatek. "It would mean working fewer days which means having fewer employees, seeing fewer patients and taking time off."

"Generally it means being less productive," she said.

Poczatek argued that by reducing her income from her current $320,000 to under $250,000 by having her dental hygienist work fewer days and byl treating fewer patients, she would avoid paying higher taxes on the $70,000 that would be subject to increased taxation if Obama's proposal is signed into law.

Additionally, any interest from a checking or savings account or capital gains from stocks, would also count as taxable income.

"The motivation for a lot of people like me -- dentists, entrepreneurs, lawyers -- is that the more you work the more money you make," said Poczatek. "But if I'm going to be working just to give it back to the government -- it's de-motivating and demoralizing."

in those dumb loving idiots’ defense, the american public school system does a really poor job on explaining taxes in general and progressive taxes specifically, likely because it benefits those in power not to do so

Yeah that's fair, I can't blame them too much for being ignorant.

I can, however, blame them for giving an interview to a national news outlet describing their plan to reduce their employees' hours, turn away customers, and slash their own income without stopping to double check themselves

I remember getting lunch in the financial district and two guys in front of me were discussing doing exactly that, and they were very obviously bank analysts, which made me so baffled. Literally a basic piece of knowledge of your job. Like a mechanic who doesn't know how to use a wrench.

they absolutely 100% believed that obummer was a closet marxist who wanted to implement a 99% flat tax, send in the UN to confiscate their guns, and gay marry them to their pets

the idea that he wasn't interested in actual change and was only offering a technocratic, incremental shift was such a foreign concept to them that they assumed the correct explanation must be wrong

if someone manages their withholding very closely to avoid getting a refund and then messes it up there's a penalty

also some people are just plain angry about tax brackets
