Isn't it the same all over the world ? Work gets taxed more than sitting on wealth ?! Maybe let us know if you figured out how to make it more fair.

Make $100,000 from selling your labor. 2024-25 FY: $20,788 (not including deductions)

Make $100,000 from selling your appreciating assets: $5,788.00
