It does feel like another attempt to milk the middle class by classifying them as "rich". We should stop treating productive people like doctors, trades people, engineers, small business owners, etc. who have worked their way into a ~150-500k range as if they are millionaire hedge fund managers or something.
The same thing happened with Obamacare, affordable for everyone meant almost free if you are poor and crazy expensive if you are making >50k. Meanwhile improving infrastructure or addressing why stuff is expensive is not even part of the discussion.
- Ancalagon 3y agoIts even more devious than that. This is household income, so two parents each making 90k - restaurant managers, entry-level corporate employees, etc. - would also qualify for the highest income tax bracket. 90k is not a high salary in much of California either, this isn't just for higher-earners.
