I know this is kind of a lib thing to complain about, but it really is insane how much electoral mileage the GOP gets out of the fact that its own voters don't understand marginal tax rates. (hexbear.net)

I see this become apparent on social media every so often and it's really just depressing how widespread the misunderstanding is.

51% of Americans who were polled in a 2021 survey agreed with the statement that "You pay your marginal tax rate on all of your income".

reminds me about how when I tell someone "I'm not voting for the democrats, we live in one of most solidly blue states in the country" and they rail on me about the lesser of two evils bullshit argument, half the time they don't even remember that the electoral college even exists
