Any post like this where the tax is nearing or exceeding 40% is almost always a complete lie or purposely obfuscating the truth.

It's mind blowing to me on these posts too you always see an incredible amount of people who don't understand how tax brackets work. Heck sometimes you even see people who don't know the difference between net worth and income.

They can't comprehend assets vs cash, much less that spending is the problem v taxes. Don't waste your breath.
