Should you worry about the Biden tax plan? (99% probably not)

Now that even Fox News has declared Joe Biden and Kamala Harris the winner of the election, it’s time to allay your fears about the Biden Tax plan, which charges more tax on the first dollar you make over $400,000.

(Keep in mind that the median household income in the US was $68,703 in 2019, and that median means “if you lined everyone in the US up by income, from the poorest at the front to the richest at the end, it’s the income of the person in the very middle of the line.”)

In that spirit, here’s my mega-collection of tweets that tell you if you have to worry about Biden’s tax plan. Enjoy!

Meme: Dathon (Tamarian captain from the Star Trek TNG episode “Darmok”) with the caption “Felicia, when she left the village.”

C’mon, there’s got to be some people who love both. It can’t just be me and Snoop Dogg.

(Seriously — Snoop has a Star Trek wall mural!)

Fox News faces

Those looks: The realization sinks in, and the (admittedly thin) veneer of “fair and balanced” disappears.

From the “Remote work problems” file

Tweet by @PettyClegg: “my boss turned herself into a potato on our Microsoft teams meeting and can’t figure out how to turn the setting off, so she was just stuck like this the entire meeting”
Tap to see the original Tweet.

And now I’m checking to see if the videoconferencing app we use at Auth0 (where I work) has a potato filter.
