    Where I live, in Washington state, there isn’t an income tax however, finally, they’re implementing one on people making over 1M/yr. There were people out protesting that definitely don’t make 1M/yr. It’s wild.

      I am sincerely curious why anyone who has never & will never earn a million dollars per year, why would they be out on the streets protesting against taxing those who do. Maybe they participate in every protest because they’re always down to party in the streets regardless of the occasion.

        Nah, I think their main logic is the slippery slope fallacy, it might be them next! They also probably are just against all taxes all the time which, if you think about that for a singular second, how the fuck would they drive their lifted pickup to a protest against taxation if there were no tax dollars to build roads? They probably also don’t realize/understand that we could hold millionaires to a different standard than us, as it’s unprecedented in America.
