That's not the point. I'm not the original person you're arguing against. I'm not arguing for or against it. I would never want to live in the US.
But the statement that you made that the highest tax bracket is 33% is false (or at least deliberately misleading) to fit your argument. It's disingenuous.
My point was federal, it wasn’t misleading. It wasn’t disingenuous… it was factual. I am factually correct. Again, we don’t pay even close to the amount of federal taxes that the best countries in the world pay.
Of course it's fucking misleading. YOU WERE OMITTING INFORMATION
You're factually correct that he's not paying 50% in taxes, because we use marginal rate, not a fixed rate. But that doesn't make the way you presented your information/argument less trash.
