[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 3030505, member: 27832"]This may not be a fruitful discussion for you and me in particular to undertake. ;) The main objections I have to the line of argument I mocked are: 1) It ignores deductions, which substantially reduce one's taxable income at various steps. 2) It ignores that each successive step generally taxes [I]what's left AFTER[/I] the previous steps. You can't calculate even stacked percentages by adding; you have to multiply. Arguments over whether current tax rates are appropriate, and whether tax money is spent wisely, will probably result in high blood pressure and a locked thread. I'd rather not.[/QUOTE]
