As a programmer and my wife is a doctor, I'm in the upper brackets. But I don't care. Also happy to see the millionaires losing even more money!

In my eyes, $3000 goes a long way for someone struggling!

Yeah, I would pay less under Trump and so would everyone in my area. The brackets that would pay less under Kamala can't afford to live here. Still a very blue area.

I am in upper brackets, too - I’m happy to pay more if someone who is struggling doesn’t have to.

Dodging taxes is unpatriotic.

Based and "unfunded tax cuts are theft" pilled

Sorry for the brain rot

I think intentionally avoiding taxes should be a very serious crime. It's stealing from everyone.

I guess I am too, maybe it’s my nouveau-ness (not that I’m anywhere near “rich”), but I don’t understand why the attitude isn’t “just go make more money”? (Keeping in mind we’re talking about people who don’t need the money for subsistence and are clearly capable of generating cash)

Same. Oh no I’ll have to cook at home a few more times per year. How will I survive.

It's not losing, it's sharing.
