“The top 1% of earners take in 22% of total income & pay 40% of all federal income taxes. The top 10% earn about half the nation’s income & pay 72% of its taxes. The bottom half of earners, collectively, pay roughly 3% of the tax revenue. The United States, in fact, has the most progressive income-tax system in the developed world.”

Czech Republic might be the most influential fiat country in the world, and most people do not realize it.
In the 16th century, a silver coin minted in Jachymov was called the Joachimsthaler.
The name was shortened, adapted across languages, and eventually became dollar.
The word behind the modern global reserve currency began in a Czech mining town.
Over time the coin lost its silver, then its gold backing, and finally its physical form, turning into paper and then into digits backed by policy.
The material faded, but the name endured.
Today, the same country stands out as one of Europe’s most Bitcoin-active hubs, building infrastructure for money defined by code.
Sometimes the smallest historical details cast the longest monetary shadows.
@ranni_kafe@OndrejBacina A jak byste si to představoval? Např poměrem počtu obyvatel? Že má 10m Česko stejný počet zástupců jako 80m Německo? Nebo nějak jinak?
