[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Yes, I choose to live in this area because my family brought me here from Ohio when I was 16 and I married a fed.  There is really no benefit to this area except for my family.  And, unlike other professions, I could make the same money elsewhere, but that would mean leaving family and pulling my kids away from their friends.

Instead of exempting those in the 250K bracket from higher marginal taxes in high COL areas, the govt should lower the number in low COL areas.   The reason the argument doesn't go over outside DC etc. is because "rich" starts at a lot lower income in low COL areas - and those midwestern rich folks don't even get hit with the AMT!  I suppose it is the unfairness of it that gets to me.

And, I grew up in the "lower middle class" where Mom made my clothes and when dad died and she went to work, she was lucky to get a job making 7K/year with benefits.  I just thought my 200K would allow us to have/do more and not worry.  Guess not.[/quote]

What is it that want to have or do that you aren't currently doing?  Sounds to me like you are focusing on what so many other people have that you don't, instead of the other way around.  Try to be happy with what you have, which in comparison to many other Americans is a lot.  Based on your original post, it sounds to me like you have a pretty good life.[/quote]
