[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]400k is NOT wealthy or "rich". It's very comfortable but at that income you aren't flying private, buying mansions, etc. You were impacted by COVID in one way or another. The people that should be taxed more are the ones who saw an immense wealth increase during COVID, could fly their jet to the Virgin Islands and ride out covid while getting richer. Not your average local dentist.. Get a grip people. Democrats agree that the rich should pay more, but 400k is not "the rich"; particularly in any decent sized city. I gladly voted D up and down the ballot and will be impacted by this but I frankly get pissed when they throw my 500k income into the same bucket as someone making 10m a year. Its ridiculous and dumb. These tax increases are a drop in the bucket in terms of revenue...they aren't really helping anyone; its optics. [/quote] The 400k threshold was well advertised during the campaign. If you are surprised you’re being lumped in with the rich, you weren’t paying attention. I voted D too knowing full well it would likely result in higher taxes for me. But unfortunately the R party has gone batshit insane so D is the only real choice even though I don’t love all their policies.[/quote] +1; the 400k was always the line in the sand during the campaign. I still voted D, since I'm not a single issue voter on my income. Also, my friends in any other country i'd want to live still pay much higher tax rates than me.[/quote]
