re: #389 ggt

It depends who you’re talking about. You said you wanted to see absolute dollar amounts. I do think it’s worthwhile to consider just how hard it is, how challenging to get by on $20,000, for example. I do think it’s worthwhile knowing that someone paid, say, $3,000,000 in taxes— but also to consider they have $20,000,000 in income— let alone wealth— afterwards.

There is never going to be fairness in the tax code. There is going to be what works, what takes into account actual human beings, and what we need.

And people barely scraping by aren’t good for any of us. General prosperity is a wonderful thing.
