        Isn’t this a good thing? The people who make more than enough are paying more?

        200k is not much considering the Federal & State tax, college education, home mortgage, retirement saving . . . they represent Middle class. We pay more because RED state pay less and require subsidies. RED States get far more than what they pay into the system,

        Bruh, I make less than 30k a year with a full time job. I bring home 450$ a week. I can’t even go to college, because I make too much. I can’t own a home. I can barely pay my car payment. I’m in the middle class. 200k a year, and I wouldn’t want for anything in life.

        So you’re going to sit there and tell me “Boo hoo, the people making 200k can’t own a massive overpriced home because they have to pay taxes” bullshit. Live within your means.

        1 of 2 Actually I am. The cost of living in Blue states is significant higher than most Red States. Those that earn 200k are not contribution to the Trillion Deficit. Those who earn Millions & Billions. Example estate tax elimination the Walton's get 52 Billion Tax Cut.

        The tax plan seems strategically directed at Dem-friendly demographic groups. The "grad student tax" is another example - pushing triple digit tax hikes on a low -earning group at the same time you drop taxes for the super rich, not a coincidence.

        This is not a tax increase. It just shows that their state tax is absurd and they've skirted paying their share of Federal Income Tax by writing off their State Income Tax. This will expose failing Democratic states like California.

        I don’t think the Democratic Party has ever represented so many well to do people before. Not Andrew Jackson’s Party, not the party that lost the Civil War, not FDR’s coalition, not the JFK/LBJ crowd, not even the Bill Clinton crowd.

        Keep in mind what that 100k looks like in an area that homes cost $500k and are crack shacks with bad schools easily, so let’s put cost of living into perspective with this rich people statement

        Isn’t that what the democrats want: for those with more money to pay more?
