PLEASE
let me have to worry about paying 90% income tax on my bonus.

It would be a relief compared to my current worries.

1. My wife and I
pay around 40% and we have no deductions. She makes a lot of money and for fun I looked at her statement and was shocked. Man I'm gonna turn repub.



Nawwww not really repubs suck and we don't mind helping less fortunate at all. Don't like paying for bad wars but nothing we can do about that.

2. Thank you. It is a matter of principal, not money...
but I do understand your situation. I have family members who ear more than $500K a year (couple) and are both Democrats... yes, they would love to have some more money in their wallets and sometimes pay less taxes, ( I have had conversations with them about their tax bracket) but they quickly remember what taxes do. They support progressive ideas and policies and contributed with lots of $$$ to President obama during the campaign... what did they want in return for their contributions? - nothing- just to have a Democratic president with progressives ideals...


Believe it or not some of these folks (like you) are out there....

Thank you...
