#3This is awesome! It worked great on mobile
It got stuck on desktop.
It worked fine until it got to the point where it showed me how many tax dollars I contributed in 2025, and had a little popup fade in (and disappear again) that said "Swipe to continue"
That was the end of the road for me. It was impossible to proceed further.

#4Very cool! But I think there’s a cap on social security, it said I paid much more towards that than I did.

#5I _really_ enjoyed this and love the concept! Scrolling on desktop was a little odd, but worked really well otherwise.
Content wise it's pretty eye opening just how much of our tax dollars go to things like social security, medicare and interest. Seeing it laid out in the exact dollar amount affecting me is pretty powerful stuff. I wonder how much voting habits would change if this was a common way to communicate the cost of federal programs. I had moments where I was thinking "why are we not spending more on education!" as a result as well.
Awesome work!

There definitely is a cap. I believe once you make more than $176k you stop being taxed for that

#7This is a really cool way to actually educate people about taxes and government spending.
It's crazy that our interest payments are so high. I remember when Clinton actually balanced the budget (no deficit), I was a teenager and couldn't care less. But I only a few years ago started to understand how much that sounds like Sci-Fi in this day and age.

Does your mouse have a scroll wheel?
Re: Tax Wrapped 2025
#9So we spent more on interest for the deficit than we spent on the doubling the combined spending on all of the following:
transportation government operations natural resources community development education & social services agriculture international affairs science & space and energy
...anxiety rises.

It does.
But my mouse's scroll wheel is not a swipey-thing.
