    Oh, my bad, only a half million a year gets you into that tax bracket. My bad, you’re right, that is such a low amount.

    It’s terrible that after that amount you get taxed on what you made over, rather than the whole thing.

      the joke was that in the USA you can be multi millionaire+ wealthy and pay 0% tax

      That is the actual joke here, agreed. If, and that’s a pretty damn big if, there was any sense on USA government they could just take our progressive steps and leave everything above 35% away from it and still have a crapload of budget to actually make their country great again.

      But spending 100 million bucks per hour to demolish schools half way across the world is cool too I guess.
