Doctor works 70 hours loses 50 percent coworker works 35 hours keeps 82 percent in California

I don’t think progressive taxes are fair.

Tell me how it’s “fair” that a doctor busting 70-hour weeks in California loses almost 50% of their income to taxes, while someone working 35 hrs keeps 82% of their money.

Our progressive taxes don’t “protect the rich”, they slam the hardest workers.
