If you read the entire article you'll notice that this isn't the only "interactive graphic". Go down further to where it says "How the Tax Law Might Affect You". It pretty much cov…

I think the act of actually paying a tax is quite important, despite the bureaucratic overhead. For the same reason, I think payroll taxes and the like should be directly paid by c…
