Can you please make us change to the metric system and dump dst first really quick though?
Prioritize; millionaires need to pay, and people who make less than 60k a year will not pay an income tax, and we will create a single payer system for healthcare; also - we will eliminate gov funded military research until we can subsidize day care so that moms who want to work can actually afford to do so. Single moms will pay less if anything than a married, 2income household
Tbh we could probably cut all tax to individuals earning under $100K a year and it would still work while also not effectively be a tax on living in a high cost of living area as an educated individual. A quick check of zillow's calculator (which I suspect is generous) says that with 60K a year, 20K down and 1K a month in bills you have a comfortable home buying price range of under 200K in the Northeast, which might get you a mobile home. Might. We almost jumped on a mobile home for almost that much and it was old and needed work and didn't qualify for basically any good loans.
100K a year but otherwise the same info affords 400K for a house, which is basically where you are starting for an FHA loan eligible house there.
I’m flexible on the income limits and cutoffs
