    Then after retirement and benefits it’s anywhere from 20% to 50%. I’m at about 25% just with tax, 36% with benefits and retirement.

    Depending on if your deductions are calculated correctly (you have to negotiate that with your job) you might end up getting a refund layer or have to pay, so in reality my rate is more like 30% overall. People with more expensive insurance or less tax credits and or other things on top of that are going to have it worse off.

    I make half what I would need to be able to afford buying a home in my area and be able to make mortgage payments and still have money left







  • I am asking because without reading the article it seems like the only interested people would be Indians.

    Not wrong

    Same kind of ridiculous nationalism and racism trump advocates for and tries to enforce through law. My dad, whose heritage hasnt lived in india in multiple generations, and has little connection to the religion or language, still supports that kind of bullshit and would rather people die so his religion and language come out on top. Like when india interferes with power and internet in Kashmir and hospitals are desperately trying to keep patients alive, that is a worthy sacrifice to him
