I was playing Monopoly with my 8-year-old daughter.
My wife and I don't remember talking about taxes in front of her (at least not consciously); her statement impressed upon me. There are two boxes in the Monopoly game board:
- Super Tax: You have to pay 100 bucks to the banker
- Income Tax: You have to pay 200 bucks to the banker
She asked — Daddy, do you think Super Tax should be 200 bucks and Income Tax should be 100 bucks?
I asked her why, and she said Super Tax is paid only by people with a lot of money, as it has a diamond ring representing it.
