I make $21 an hour (43,680 per year), but my take home pay is only around $2600 a month, which is just over $31k a year. That means I’m paying over 25% of my yearly pay in taxes. Who the fuck allowed this? I already make barely enough to get by and it feels like they take as much as possible and then laugh in my face. I feel like people who make less than a certain cutoff shouldn’t be taxed at all.
