Jiang: βok so. I have ordered the pizza. Ok. Now we wait. If I am correct, there will be a knock.β

People making $52,000 should not be paying the same % of taxes as someone making more than double their income. Thatβs so unfortunate.
The πΊπΈ IRS just released the new tax brackets for 2027
Single filers (2026 in parentheses):
10%: $12,800 or less ($12,400)
12%: over $12,800 ($12,400)
22%: over $52,025 ($50,400)
24%: over $109,125 ($105,700)
32%: over $208,325 ($201,775)
35%: over $264,550 ($256,225)
37%: over $661,375 ($640,600)
Married filing jointly (2026 in parentheses):
10%: $25,600 or less ($24,800)
12%: over $25,600 ($24,800)
22%: over $104,050 ($100,800)
24%: over $218,250 ($211,400)
32%: over $416,650 ($403,550)

The jump from 12% to 22% is the middle finger to the middle class.
THE IRS JUST RELEASED THE NEW 2027 πΊπΈ TAX BRACKETS. HERE'S HOW THEY WORK IN PLAIN ENGLISH
Every bracket got a little bigger to keep up with inflation, so you can earn a bit more before moving into a higher rate.
Step 1: Take what you earn and subtract the standard deduction. That part isn't taxed at all.
- Single: $16,600
- Married: $33,200
Step 2: Whatever's left gets taxed in layers.
Single filers:
- 10% on your first $12,800
- 12% on income up to $52,025
- 22% up to $109,125
- 24% up to $208,325
- 32% up to $264,550
- 35% up to $661,375
- 37% on anything above that
Married couples: the cutoffs are roughly double ($25,600, $104,050, $218,250, $416,650, $529,100, $793,650).
Example: You're single and earn $76,600. Subtract $16,600 and you're taxed on $60,000.
- 10% on the first $12,800 = $1,280
- 12% on the next $39,225 = $4,707
- 22% on the last $7,975 = $1,755
Total: about $7,742 in federal income tax, or roughly 10% of what you earned.
Even though you're "in" the 22% bracket, only your last $7,975 gets taxed at 22%.

The more I study the 1970s, not just movies but the actual state of society at the time, the more I understand why this movie oneshotted the entire world as a flame of light illuminating an ocean of darkness.

Newspaper prints of cartoons characters like this or to talk about something in current events are a lost art.
