I Was Wrong about the Average American
In which John falls way down the rabbit hole trying to learn what the average American's life is like--from income to taxation to political ideology to opinion on Taylor Swift.
p.s. MASSIVE THANKS to Sheridan Gibson for teaching me how to color correct!

Pew and Gallup provided all the political, religious, and other identity stuff:

This is a good article on the federal income tax averages: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/04/18/who-pays-and-doesnt-pay-federal-income-taxes-in-the-us/
But to understand state and local taxes, I found this helpful: https://wallethub.com/edu/states-with-highest-lowest-tax-burden/20494
And the overall averages come from here: https://www.fool.com/taxes/how-much-does-the-average-american-pay-in-taxes/
