I have been poor my whole life, my parents were poor, and I have just finally started making more than 400k a year after tons of high risk hard work. The thought Biden wants to punish me for this is infuriating. I worked so hard for this. I'm already paying nearly 50% in taxes!!

It feels like punishment - if I do x, (earn over a certain amount) a bad thing happens (a higher % of my money is taken away from me), and this was deliberately instituted by someone.
You know he checked income populations to make sure 400k limit wouldn't impact votes too much
So you still live on 200k/year? What’s the problem?

I earned 400k. I want to live on the amount of money that I worked hard to earn.
Also my income is unstable; I don't know how much longer it'll last. I'm trying to save for retirement as fast as I can before everything crashes again. It's all so nervewracking.

If that's your single issue, don't vote for him then. I'll gladly pay more taxes if it contributes to the greater good and helps less-advantaged fellow Americans prosper. And I'll definitely gladly pay more taxes if it means ridding this nation of the stain that is Trump

And Trump wants to take away all your rights and make this Russia or North Korea! You want THAT???
A higher percentage OF THE MARGIN is taxed. Please don't misrepresent how marginal tax rates work. And if you didn't know that detail, then you should feel bad for promulgating misinformation AND be more diligent in espousing your political opinions.
