"Why doesn't this 23 year old working 60 hour weeks understand that getting taxed progressively (and therefore paying more taxes) is actually a good thing???"

I'm confused… isn't this just progressive tax? Like if she was making the same (total) compensation at one job instead of two, she'd pay the same tax. So what she's arguing for is that she should pay less tax because she's working two jobs to get the same level of income, instead of one?
Yea and it fricks over poorcels to the point many will only take other jobs if paid in cash.
Feels kind of unreal to read about someone that has to work 60 hour weeks to make ends meet advocate against progressive tax rates.
Yea cuz like why wood u not like paying lots of tax?
!leafs why are our country men such smug pricks?

Doesn't Germany and some other europoor states do the opposite of this and tax you higher just for taking a second job to try and not be so poor?

In my country a second job gives you the top marginal tax rate for that job. Meaning some poor working his second job is literally getting taxed at something like 33%. It's embarrassingly bad and yeah, it means the poors just work for cash.
It's actually better now to collect welfare and work for cash than to earn minimum wage even.

What country? This doesn't make any sense. I could understand withholding at the top marginal tax rate so they don't get fricked at tax time and end up with a refund.
