You can just stop there, and be correct about almost any topic.
I had to explain tax brackets to my mother.
She’s got a degree to teach math. And I know she actually went to college since I can remember sitting in the back of her classrooms when she couldn’t find a babysitter.
She used to do her own taxes and my grandparents taxes.
But, as a teenager, I had to explain why a potential $2 raise doesn’t mean she’s losing more money in taxes than the raise is giving her.
She also doesn’t believe the welfare cliff exists, despite our family being precariously perched atop it when I was in elementary school.
At this point I think she’s just heard the same stupid shit repeated over and over, she doesn’t even question it anymore.
