Even if it’s only $19k as you say it is, that’s ~8k more in taxes. Do you have $8k to spare? I’m sure there’s a reason why someone would work twice as hard as others. I can say for certain that it’s not to get rewarded with $8k in taxes.
The lower 95% of the tax payer should be outraged too then, since they’re not being rewarded with high taxes. Damn those rich people, always get reward.
Under Obama’s plan those 19k get hit by a 3% tax increase (from 33% to 36%). So the tax bill of your theoretical double-income mega-overtime nurse family goes up by $570.
That’s not even the problem. The problem is that Obama appears to be more or less honest (“i’ll try to be fiscally responsible but i’ll have to raise taxes on the rich a little bit”) McCain, like Bush, is simply a populist (“i’ll lower taxes for everyone! vote for me! in the mean time i’ll continue running record high budget deficits so your dollars will be worth less and less“)
