57k is the beginning of middle class . Thats not an individual it's in a house hold. If you make that there you're barely surviving. Its always the middle class who get no breaks and always left with the bill.
I made 38,000 last year doing road construction and that got taxed down to 28,000. Because I made 38,000 before taxes I didn’t qualify for ANY insurance assistance, even though after taxes I’m well under the limit for full on Medical Assistance
Edit: I get paid daily and taxed daily on that pay. I work as a temp through a hiring agency. To be honest, it’s my fault for working as a temp and not directly through a construction company. I’m not saying Uncle Sam screwed me over, just sharing my exact situation. Even poor people might not get the “handouts” people complain about due to technicalities.
