    There’s a shocking lack of financial literacy from a lot of people, and not just Americans.

    Tax brackets, tariffs, you name it. People somehow expect either the importer or the manufacturer to wear the cost.

      I have zero respect for anyone who says they rejected a raise (or bitches a raise they accepted) because theyd pay more in taxes because itd put them in a new tax bracket.
