At 2 second glance he won’t raise taxes unless you make over 400k a year.

Nice said he would raise taxes on people making more than $400K/year and on corporations. Several groups reported this as “BIDEN WILL RAISE YOUR TAXES” (aka, OMG, panic, the apocalypse is coming, often with apocalyptic music playing in the background)

@JanetJackson, can I share your meme on FB? Too good!
Was thinking of adding the comment “If you are driving a vehicle from the 1990s or earlier, you don’t need to worry about Biden’s tax plan. Plus…”

TAXES BAD!
Actually, our political party most likely to cut tax is in power here in Australia and just this month their most recent tax cuts went into effect. Whilst I like getting more money,
I do not need another $2500 a year, when that money multiplied by all the tax paying people who earn greater than $120k a year could be better spent in a targeted way. They shifted the tax brackets (raising the point that 32.5% tax rate kicks in from $90k to $120k) so the people earning very good money benefit the most? I think its like about the economy and maybe it trickling down your leg or something?

This might be my favourite description of how “trickle down economics” works in reality.

I don’t get the headboard thing as a class marker when we’re talking about income that high. We’ve owned a bed with a headboard since we were recent grads making <$35K as a household. And it wasn’t a gift.
We cleaned out the undercounter on the weekend so we don’t have a bag of bags. Just an ikea bag holder of unknown vintage full of bags.
No headboard
No bed frame

It’s fine it’s Greyman’s 30th birthday tomorrow and he is annoyingly lucky.

It’s not that someone with lower income is unlikely to have a headboard, it’s that someone with extremely high income is unlikely to NOT have a headboard. So IF you don’t have a headboard, you are likely not making $400k+.
Just like not all lower-middle income people have popcorn ceilings or stained food storage containers. But high income people probably don’t.

This might be a generational divide? A few years ago (probably still) with the college aged and 20s set, it became a sometimes desirable aesthetic (or somewhat ironic vibe) to have a mattress on the floor (or like the cheapest bed frame sold at Ikea) even if it wouldn’t be a financial burden to acquire one. So for a while I could have afforded a bedframe/headboard but it wasn’t seen as a need and was very very low on my list of things to buy with Real Job money. If my space had the square footage my mattress would still be on the floor but I had to get a loft to fit in my studio.
edit it also feels like a Big City Vibe whereas seen as way weirder in other places to just not have a real bed

We don’t have a headboard because my husband’s head gets warm but if he keeps a pillow against the wall it will get cold and he can swap it out to keep his head cool. Even if we were to make over 400k, we would not have a headboard for this reason. Also, we’re lazy.

I remember when I first filed for unemployment I put April 20 as my possible return-to-work date (in LIVE THEATER) and I laugh and laugh and laugh (and cry).
