[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Married couples earning more than $150k should be paying 45% or 50% on all income above $150k.

Obviously, the brackets would be adjusted accordingly, but that's a rough idea where it should be. [/quote]

Yes let's kill the middle class. [/quote]

It's hardly killing someone to insist that those who have been very successful in this economy pay their fair share toward those who haven't. As a progressive society, this is what we should be striving for.[/quote]

$150K in this area for a family of 4 is hardly living the high life.  I do not consider this being very successful.  Successful absolutely but your qualifier is incorrect .  This family would not be struggling but they certainly wouldn't have a ton for extras after retirement and college savings.

$150K is far too low to start paying taxes at 50% without impacting the quality of life for the middle class.  $150K is two parents at $75K each or one at $100K and one at $50K or some other permutation.  However at no point wold anyone say someone making $75K or even $100K has been very successful.  [/quote]
