    How is high school mathematics supposed to help with taxes? It’s just addition and subtraction. This meme makes as much sense as saying that high school history didn’t prepare you for taxes. Blame your personal finance courses, not math.

      You don’t study algebra, interest, statistics, calculus, geometry,etc? Just addition and subtraction for all of primary, middle, and high school?

      Is this American exceptionalism?

        What? Is the European reading comprehension? I’m saying that tax work is just additon and subtraction, and yeah, a little bit of multiplication for things like interest. None of those things are introduced in high school curriculum.
