In the 60's and 70's, most individual income tax was paid by the wealthy, based on the shocking logic that those have more should contribute more. This has shifted dramatically in the last 40 years, with a few negative implications, at least for us poor, suffering slobs.
Along with bracket creep

Capcom, what about bracket creep?
Re: General Discussions - PaulP - 04-07-2021
I got to about 20 minutes, and stopped watching. Frightening and very depressing.

Just watched one of Richard Wolff's latest videos. Apparently the Democrats (read : Sanders) proposal to introduce a $15/hour minimum wage has been defeated twice in congress. It's been watered down such that the increase will occur incrementally - the $15 will only be reached by 2025. Apparently 8 Democrats crossed the floor to vote with the GOP.
The current US minimum wage is $7.25/hr, among the lowest in the industrialised world. Joke of a country.

Not sure how many states pay overs, but it does occur.

ABC show 'You can't ask that' this week featured AFL and NRL ex players. Well worth a look. Some tough Qs and very open and honest answers. Brock McClean was one of the ex players

Not a show I normally watch but I did tonight and I thought it was great. The footballers were all honest, articulate and interesting.
From a Carlton perspective, Brock’s admissions about depression, bulimia, drinking and drug abuse were concerning but not surprising.
