That same kind of person would likely be on the tax-free threshold so would be paying zero/almost zero tax as well.

On top of one of the best universal health care systems and highest standards of living in the world... Hence why I would like to see the USA take note and copy other nations more closely who have been successful in various aspects rather than do their own thing...

You must be confusing the US with Japan.  The US copy from another nation is not going to happen until California sinks into the sea and even then they would do nothing.

it's stuff like this that annoys me the most, because America resists anything that works because it's not 'their way', even though it's been proven to work. Their patriotism and nationalism means they don't care about doing it the right way, they want to do it the American way. 

They outright HATE socialism and anything left of center even though...like, almost all of the top rated countries in the world are either socialist or very near to it. They're misconstruing 'hard left radical socialism' like in Venezuela or with outright communism like China when that's not what places like Australia, Canada, Britan, and most northern European nations are doing. but no, none of those facts or examples matter, all that matters is that it's not 'the American way'. And that stubbournnes mixed with so many other things make me feel like America is just a childish brute of a country, and Trump did NOT help matters. 

Wanted to highlight two things today:

The first thing is that the first polls on the Joe Biden presidency are out now and they suggest that, on average, 55% of Americans are initially approving of the job Biden is doing while just under 37% disapprove. This start compares quite favorably to the previous administration's end, as former President Trump concluded his presidency averaging 15 points underwater in job approval. In other words, the public feels that the initial shift from the Trump to the Biden presidency has been a definite improvement.

The second thing I wanted to highlight today is a headline that I feel speaks for itself: Egotistical victimhood is linked to support for Trump, study finds.

And those "who exhibit heightened levels of systemic victimhood, in contrast, tend to be more hostile towards Trump".

What conclusions can we reach based on this?

Piggybacking off of @Jaicee's post, FiveThirtyEight just released their first Biden Approval Rating data

Besides Trump, who he is trouncing so far: The only other presidents that can be directly compared to in terms of Approval Rating at this time are Clinton, Bush Jr., and Obama.

So far, he's noticeably ahead of Bush Jr., pretty much tied with Clinton, and noticeably behind Obama.

Their Approval Rating figures go as far back as Truman, who was the first president who had his approval rating measured from the start of his first term. (The Approval Rating was introduced midway through FDR's 2nd term.)

And just for those who want to see the stark difference between Biden's and Trump's approval ratings: here you are.

Democrat Presidents rate higher than Republican Presidents! There appears to be left wing bias.

One could also interpret this as proof that the Republicans need to cheat by purging voter lists to get elected...

The left wing bias is humanity. The majority of humans possess humanity, so it will always be a bit skewed to the left.
