Yup, to them freedom is both unlimited freedom to and freedom from, only for them. They never took a philosophy class to understand the contradiction (presumably because thinking too hard is woke?).

Yes, this chart is worse than uninformative, it’s misinformative. Total tax “burden” for what bracket? With what specific assumptions about other taxes, social services, etc? The small print sounds “good” but actually provides no functional detail.
People who think Texas equals freedom from taxes but are low income will be paying a significantly higher percentage of their paycheck than the top 10/5/1% in Texas, compared to say New York, which maintains higher taxes on rich people.
Most likely this chart just flattened or averaged tax rates across all brackets, which is incredibly dumb considering a good tax system will not treat different groups the same.
Napkin math: So slightly less than two books a week? Like 280 pages or so per book, two per week, so 80 pages a day? Roughly?
That’s great, I’m happy for you. But hey, if you have a machine that puts more hours into a day, please share with the rest of us, we’re dying out here.
