[quote=Anonymous]I am a liberal who believes in equitable tax burden sharing, meaning I feel that those of us who make more should be taxed at a higher rate.  My husband and I, after multiple years of graduate training, now do make in the low-to mid 6-figures.  I know, compared to most, we make a lot.  Still, I feel bitter about this increased Maryland state income tax.  Perhaps because it is not a graduated tax, I feel that when it comes to state and local taxes, we should all be taxed equally as far as tax rates.  For federal income tax, with graduated tax rates, I understand the concept of the top portions of our income being taxed at higher rates. We pay for a nanny, becuase my hours do occasionally have to go over 6 pm (I'm a doctor).  Now we have preschool costs on top of that, and private school would be impossible with the nanny cost as well.

I need some fellow liberals to help me readjust my attitude, so I thought venting here would put me in my place, as the flamers come at me:)[/quote]
