This is a normal post I hate to be a pedant (no, really)
but it's 70% of their incomes over a certain level. I know that's still unacceptable to some people, but saying it's 70% of their income is misstating how graduated income tax works.

Also maybe worth noting that the top rate of federal income tax in the US was over 80% for 20 years after World War 2 when they experienced a massive boom in prosperity, and remained at 70% or over until the Reagan years without the nation collapsing into the sea.

This is a normal post "Taxes are what we pay for civilized society"
Or, at least, so said the the late Supreme Court justice Oliver Wendell Holmes in the USA. Seems these days taxes are what the proles pay for a civilized society while certain large corporations are content to take all the benefits of various states' infrastructures while contributing as little as possible to them. I think people's concern is justified on those grounds alone.

But yay, fluffy animals. Bring back pictures, maybe? :)
