    Exactly. When I supported this, there was that wince of “this won’t get the people it really needs to hit”… but it does enough.

    And tbh, I know some wealthy fucking people who legitimately don’t cross the line. $1M/yr is a lot of bloody money. That means if I found a way to “only” make $900,000/yr, I’m immune to this tax.

    Also, anyone hiring for $900,000/yr?

      Right? I hear this all the time about inheritance tax. Im more than willing to pay inheritance tax, meaning I’m getting like $3.5 Million to start.
