Quote:How are they penalized?  They're incredibly well off.  Going by what you said, I don't think most progressives would consider you rich for the record.  Unless since the last time you posted about it your salary jumped up an outrageous amount.

 

So earning more and getting taxed more is not a penalty?  Regardless of whether or not someone is "well off" should they be taxed at a higher rate because of it?

 

Actually, my salary did jump a considerable amount after that last post.  I did change jobs which increased my salary not quite but close to double.  If I combine my salary with that of my wife, then we are at the cusp of being taxed higher than we have ever been.
