Strangely enough, most people will be in the top 5% at some point in their life. But just for a year, when they sell their house. So you’re getting fucked 75 years of your life for maybe 1 year of benefit?
I am not from the US so might be wrong, but I think it works the same as in mine. It is because they tax income not wealth (which would be difficult I guess).
