The comparison between a teacher's tax rate and a minimum corporate tax rate in this tweet is misleading. The estimated federal tax rate for an earner in the average teacher's tax bracket in the US in 2018 was 22%. Teachers would likely still pay a higher effective rate. https://www.comparably.com/salaries/salaries-for-teacher
