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!!

You haven't been poor your whole life if you are now making 400+ a year. Somewhere along the line you were making 75k, 100k, 200k, 300k, and now 400k. You didn't go from 7.50 hr to this overnight. You havent been poor since 50k.

I did. I started in April and my income skyrocketed fast. So I guess you're right - I was in-between for about two months.

Yeah? Well it wasn't quite minimum wage before, though I have spent years at minimum wage in stuff like factory assembly lines and entry level jobs. I did various forms of self employment for the last few years which sometimes lost me money, sometimes gained money.

So I grew up poor, couldn't afford college, had unreliable income for a long time as I tried to do startup stuff and teach myself the skills, and just recently has stuff finally gotten really successful for me
