Twenty-one percent is highway robbery for people like us—hard workers, not millionaires. If the rich can afford to keep more of their cash, then it’s only fair that middle earners stop getting squeezed at 15% or lower. We’re not asking for handouts, just a rate that lets families breathe without the government treating every paycheck like it’s their personal piggy bank.
