You’re hyper-focused on tax rates for upper-middle income earners who’ve EARNED their income.
Can we agree that ALL income should be taxed at the same rate — passive as well as earned income? And no BS about “job creators.” We’ve had historically low tax rates this past ~decade, and our job base has been shrinking dramatically. We haven’t seen a mess like this since just before the Great Depression…and the years just prior to the GD happened to be the last time we saw such low tax rates. They also happened to coincide with a credit bubble and huge growth in wealth/income inequality, too. It just might not be a coincidence.
