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".

I'll have to check it out. I've been reminding myself why math is amazing again recently. Since I'm a weird nerd just doing derivatives is beautiful but seeing visual creativity in math is awesome. There's so much there to do and definitely one reason people don't like math and similar is the way it's taught is so dry and formulaic.
