NAILED IT: Jeff Bezos: “A nurse in Queens who makes $75K a year pays more than $12K a year in taxes. Does that really make sense?”
“So people talk about making the tax system more progressive. How about we start by having the nurse in Queens NOT pay taxes? At all!”
“Why is a nurse in Queens who makes $75K a year paying more than $1K a month in taxes?”
“That’s $1K a month that could help with rent or groceries or anything.”
“And by the way, do you know what that all adds up to? The bottom half of income earners in this country pay only 3% of the taxes. It’s only 3%.”
“We can find 3%. So we don’t have... it’s a small amount of money for the government. You know that. And the more I thought about it, to me, it’s kind of absurd that we’re doing this.”
“We shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington — they should be sending her an apology. It really makes no sense.”
Exactly!

There are 4 data points on Gen Z I find interesting.
1. They are the most diverse Generation in American history religiously and ethnically.
2. They are the most educated generation in the history of the world according % of total degrees held.
3. They are the first generation in history to have lower test scores than the generation that birthed them
4. They have the lowest test scores of any generation since 1950.
On their own these 4 data points are unremarkable but when you put them together? It paints a fascinating picture.
