    This is not a US specific issue, tbh. I’ve heard this weird belief repeated by all sorts of people.

      it is a misinformation many people in power wants to keep because it lets republicans sell their policies to not tax the rich and bosses to not raise their employee’s salaries.

      You’re absolutely right. I cant speak for anyone else, as I don’t live there but I highly doubt the US is an exception.

      Rather than being mad at each other, I want to make sure we hold the right people accountable! Governments, corporations, billionaires etc.

      It’s a form of oppression.

      I’ve heard it in Australia too, which has the same tax bracket system as the USA. I think the fact that this stuff isn’t taught in school is a major issue.
