The Tax Lie They Tell the Middle Class_ Unveiling the Hidden Burden

from Conspiracy Theories Exploring The Unseen · host Michael Fortune

The average middle-class household in America is shelling out around 20% to 30% of their gross income just on federal, state, and local taxes. It’s a staggering fact, especially when you consider how this burden weighs on families from various backgrounds and locations.When we think about taxes, we usually picture income tax. But let’s not forget payroll taxes, which contribute a hefty chunk to the tax responsibilities of middle-income folks. These are the taxes that help fund Social Security and Medicare. And here's the kicker: payroll taxes are actually regressive, meaning they take a bigger bite out of the paychecks of lower earners compared to those at the top. How fair is that?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/conspiracy-theories-exploring-the-unseen--5194379/support.
