I don't have an answer to that.
I can say I am nervous that as a middle income earner, if taxes go up I will have trouble paying bills.
That being said I understand our taxes pay for some useful things and we are spending exorbitantly more money than we are collecting.
As a middle income person, you are presently getting screwed twice.
Some of the lower income folks get too much and contribute too little. Ever notice the average belly girth at Wal*Mart? And the $200 sneakers on the ghetto rats?
The high income folks get all tax breaks. They don't pay Jack.
You pay the bills while your income doesn't keep up with inflation.
The middle class built this country. Not the poor and not the Rich.
It's time the middle class got a break.
If we allow the middle class to be destroyed, we'll become a shithole like Somalia.
