@DavidMDrucker do you understand marginal tax rates? This tweet makes it seem like you don't.

@Letsgomets15 Yes I do, but it's still a relevant question because tax hikes question is often emotional as much as emperical. -
@DavidMDrucker agree, but emotional responses often are driven by a misunderstanding of marginal tax rates. Press shld try to correct this -
@Letsgomets15 No separating emotion from tax issue, on either side. -
@DavidMDrucker yes, both sides benefit from these emotions. More frustrating tho when ppl who would be affected don't understand the issue

@DavidMDrucker In fact, taxes will be lower for them compared with Clinton era (or Jan. 1 baseline!). -
@byelin Most don't judge tax rates on historic highs/lows,but today v yesterday.However,I bet answer to my original question is "no."

@DavidMDrucker Too bad, too late. They serve the state now. -
@bobmeyer667 Still, seems to me no one wants their taxes to go up at all, hence approval of tax hikes on top earners. -
@DavidMDrucker Even as a symbolic move, it seems reckless and non-productive. Class warfare populist theory meets harsh fiscal reality.
