Actually, that is part of the “I live better”.

The dirty little secret about the US tax code is that the brackets all the same, whether you live in Manhattan or in a shack in central Wyoming. And what will allow you to barely get by in Manhattan allows you to live like a king in many parts of the US, and yet you pay the same low tax rate.

I do confess that I miss the days when a lot of my income was not taxed for SS though.
