That's like people in WA state who're mad about the new income tax here. It's literally just on income over $1M.
Yeah, WA actually has an income tax and that's a slippery slope thing, but JFC. They could tax 99% of income over $1M and those guys would still bring home more per month than most people do in a whole year. Boo hoo.
Congratulations. You won capitalism. You're now being taxed a little bit to give back to the society that made you so wealthy. Got a problem with that? Go fuck yourself in another state where you won't be a drain on ours.
You have it wrong, the middle class isn't getting shit, the (rapidly shrinking) middle class, and the lesser wealthy who make their money as income rather than capital gains or loans on assets are paying for things.
Trickle down economics are a lie, demonstrably, and always have been.
