“Realizing I made 6,200 a month but only took home 4,100 because of taxes. Yes, that is the life we live here, paying taxes that we don’t even know where they go.”
Since then, the message has garnered attention, prompting many individuals to question the fairness of the tax system and express sympathy for her circumstances.
