Notice that those favoring tax increases are consistent except expiration of tax cuts for those making under 250k.

Notice that those favoring tax increases are consistent except expiration of tax cuts for those making under 250k.
- hugh3 16y agoYes, interesting. One might almost cynically suggest that they're in favour of all tax increases as long as they're paid by somebody else.
- andrewcooke 16y agoRational self interest in economics? How un-American.
- harisenbon 16y agoI perhaps am not understanding the graph completely, but doesn't that just mean that they are in favor of having the rich pay more taxes and the poor (or upper-middle class. 250k is nothing to scoff at) pay less taxes? Sounds perfectly logical to me. Also, 250k? I WISH I made 250k.
- anamax 16y agoThe $250k is per family - it's $200k for single folk. $250k/couple is two folks making $125k. Talk about a marriage penalty....
- afshin 16y agoMarried couples are allowed to file separately if they wish.
- anamax 16y ago> Married couples are allowed to file separately if they wish. Filing separately doesn't help in this case - the brackets for for "married filing separately" are at half the married filing jointly income levels, so our $125k/person couple would pay the same rate separately as they would filing together.
