Will's Progressive Tax Chart Markerboard

Will Bailey stands before this markerboard in the basement meeting room, gesturing to a hand-scrawled chart of income levels and corresponding tax rates—$10,000 at 15%, $100,000 at 28%, $1 million at 36%. Interns Cassie, Elsie, Romano, and three others watch as he traces the lines with a marker, contrasting the administration's progressive plan against Republican cuts. The board fills with calculations that underscore fiscal equity and expose ideological rifts.

Will's Wake-Up Call: Tax Lesson and Intern Rebuke

Will uses the markerboard as the central visual aid: a hand-scrawled tax chart anchors the lecture, providing concrete numbers and categories that turn abstract policy into sharable talking points for the interns.

Before: Marked with numbers and labels relevant to the tax breakdown; positioned at the head of the room for use in an impromptu briefing.

After: Still written-on and in place; the board has served its evidentiary purpose and remains a reference for the interns as they leave to produce material.
