Wait. Who am I voting for based on this graph if I'm making 200k, and why?

This is purposely not clear.

Do you lack the ability to think of others when looking at the graph?

If everyone was voting what's best for them according to this graph, the election would be a blowout win for Harris.

Wtf? Why am I benefiting most under Harris? Shouldn't the be the guys on the very bottom?

I mean, I'll take it, but...weird?

(also fuck Trump, he can eat dirty diapers)

If the ultra rich pay a fair percentage, the tax burden falls for the rest of everyone.

MAGA voters be like: Red scary, ugh.

Honestly they're hoping you only look at the bottom big numbers and ignore your actual insurance bracket.

Still wants to turn the country red.

I thought the top 0.1% was more like $3 million. Either way it's still an incredibly large amount of money for 1 in 1000 people to be making. With 131 million households that's 131000 households making more than $14 million per year which is WILD. One in a thousand isn't that uncommon, yet I'd never guess who were making that kind of money. They must just be living in completely separate spaces.

Now imagine inflation and the weakening dollar under trumps plan

It's the tariffs I'm worried about.

The ones that make 14 million or more would have AT LEAST $544,135 to waste on Trump propaganda (comes from 376,910 + 167,225)

The heritage foundation has a plan. Why come up with your own when someone has already done the work for you?

It is a good plan, maybe the best plan that was ever planned.
