One of the twins teachers made the blanket statement that rich people pay more taxes than poor people. Which resulted in me and the girls having a very long, surprisingly engaged conversation about things like percentages, the complexity of tax codes, local PILOTS, globalism, minimum wage + food stamps = welfare as a subsidy to wildly profitable corporations, the universal and regressive nature of sales tax, etc. And also how income tax money tends to be redistributed at the federal level from more to less progressive states. Said teacher may be in for some classroom discussion he wasnt anticipating.
