If Americans want a proper country, yall better get used to paying 40% taxes like in Europe muhahahahah!!!
Ok, some parts of Europe..

With state taxes, my top tax rate is above 40 percent. Are we counting healthcare and social security as taxes too? Where’s muh proper country?!

Bracketed income tax is a thing for a reason, and it is a good reason.

more income == more tax.

If I'm making less than $20k/year, there's no reason to give a shit about my taxes, just let me live yo.

If I'm making $200k+/year, then we have a conversation on our hands.

If I'm making 2,000k+/year, then we have a problem and the conversation should have have been completed by now.

edit:

exact numbers are not relevant. if you have a functioning brain, then you know what I mean.
