> I think the main problem, I hate to beat a dead horse, is the **federal government**. It used to be that factory workers could work at said factory, buy a home, have a couple kids and they could support them and be happy. They would not be rich but they could get by, work some overtime and save some money to help with their kids school ect. Now, taxes on EVERYONE are so absurd, and you are taxed so many times on the same money that of course people cant make a living.

Fixed that for you.

Nobody brought up top earners but you, which doesn’t matter anyway as the majority of their profits are capital gains are taxed in the teens, and there are write offs and loopholes left and right if there is an actual income.

Getting offtopic regardless.

A man is saying Federal Government taxing is “absurd” and facts show that the top rate on the highest earners from the fed on income tax is some of the lowest it’s been in the last 80 years, which is a moot point anyway.
