Tim Hues @timinthe.bsky.social · 03/05/2025So we're not worried about waste, fraud and abuse here, and ready to throw them even more money??? 010

Tim Hues @timinthe.bsky.social · 12/04/2025We have progressive tax rates and it’s easily seen that higher income pays higher rates. The tax foundation data does show percent of “all”taxes received. And I agree, the brackets should be expanded. And we need a better AMT. 100
Tim Hues @timinthe.bsky.social · 11/04/2025The replies gave anecdotes about 1 or 2 people. There's 14 million taxpayers (top 10%) at $170k AGI or greater (prob 20mm ppl with spouses). This group pays 71% of the taxes. Per chart, top 1% pays 45.8%. That same 1% earns 26% of the aggregate AGI. You haven't countered with a single fact. 000
Tim Hues @timinthe.bsky.social · 10/04/2025Dudette - we have a progressive tax structure (google tax brackets) and the numbers below bear out that is what happens. Look at the average tax rate below. Doesn't mean there's not more to be done but everyone on here needs to quit making erroneous arguments because the data doesn't support them. 100
Tim Hues @timinthe.bsky.social · 10/04/2025Not exactly. Dollars are hugely important to local, state and federal treasuries. And we do have a progressive tax structure that actually works per the chart below. I'd argue for additional brackets, closing loopholes and a stout AMT but eating the rich is a bad (and historically losing) argument. 100
Tim Hues @timinthe.bsky.social · 10/04/2025The top 1% of earners in the U.S. account for approximately 26.3% of the total adjusted gross income (AGI), based on recent data and pay 45.8% of the total income taxes paid. 100
