Look on the bright side, you might be in the lower class and have trouble keeping up with your living expenses, but you still get to pay that upper class tax bracket’s percentile.

What you don’t want to be is middle class in a socialist society. The rich have their money protected. The poor just wait for their government hand outs, essentially they’ve normalized welfare. So the person making that 165k a year is getting little to no tax breaks, no handouts, paying 32%, federal taxes, plus whatever the state takes, sales tax, property tax, tax to go in the forest, tax to get gas, tax for toll roads. They’ll be taxing air and water next. Middle class foots the bill for everyone. Welcome to the American dream.

Story of my life. I remember in the 90s/00s thinking many I hope to one day make 6-figures and turns out it’s the same thing as making $70k with just a little more money on the side and a whole lot less tax breaks and much higher tax rates
