Nice try, but only adjusted gross income above $178,150 is taxed at 24%, unless you're filing separately, then you would still need to have AGI of nearly $400k to have a effective tax rate of 24%. I think everyone in this discussion pays income taxes, I know I do. In a later thread you mentioned some possible solutions for changes to US immigration policy, which make some sense. Because every time I hear pundits/politicians say Congress needs to fix, they never say how. We were a country of immigrants, when the US growing, but large numbers of immigrants are not needed now. I know unemployment rates are low & plenty of help wanted signs posted. But big contributing factor here in NY was the "Fight for Fifteen" it was supposed to end "Corporate welfare" , now many of those same employees won't more hours if it means losing their tax payer subsidies. So it didn't fix anything, just made everything more expensive, hurting low income earners the most. SMH
