    What a terrible graph. You don’t know if the numbers are good or bad at a passing glance.

      Are you perhaps color blind? The shades of red and green were pretty clear for me at a glance.

        Sure, but is people making over $14m/year paying more taxes really a bad thing?

        I think they might be. blue would’ve been a better choice. it’s weird that people still use red and green when it’s the best known and most common form of color blindness and it affects as much as 1 in 20 people, give or take. that’s not a small percentage. color blindness in general affects 1 in 12 people.

            that’s for red-green, which is why I said about 1 in 20 – maybe closer to 1 in 25 – but in total, all color vision deficiency types add up to around 1 in 12 people.
