Liberals use this lining of reasoning constantly. "Look at how capitalism is reducing global poverty!". If you actually look at it you see it's like 99% Communist China.

China poses a different threat to global capitalism than the ussr did, because it's on the verge of showing communism showing a better quality of life than the imperial core can, even with all its plunder

Rents in Texas are still very high in the cities aren't they?

In the cities you'd want to live in, yeah. Same as everywhere else.

It's entirely psychological, somebody internalizes that because they make $200k they should be able to live in a decent house, buy a new car, eat out a lot and take vacations when really they can afford maybe 1 of those 4 things and they're too poor for the rest.

it'll vary by state but fed income tax is the important one anyway. Looks like that's in the 24% bracket



so post-tax but before, like, social security and benefit costs, etc, you're getting $111K or thereabouts which still seems pretty good

After the Trump tax cut, your standard exemption is about $25k, so taxable income would be somewhere around $125k. Then they'd pay "$10,294 plus 22% of the amount over $89,450.", so 10k + 8k is about $18k in income tax. There's also payroll taxes, you used to get a marginal tax break once you capped out the Social Security taxed income, but that has shot up in recent years from like $100k to 150k so we can assume our couple is paying 7% payroll tax too, so they also pay about $10k in social security+ Medicare.

That napkin math says a couple with gross earnings of $150k are taking home about $120k.

I will not stand for people pretending not to understand tax brackets as part of an act. You only pay that % on the income over the previous tax bracket.

You also completely skipped FICA, where medicare and social security are taxed via a fully separate system, and AMT, which is a secret tax system that kicks in if someone gets lucky to make sure that they aren't allowed to keep all of their windfall.
