you're ignoring the whole point to the difference between tax rates
and marginal tax rates. middle class tax rates are 28%. that is a
fact.


What is the effective tax rate? (What you actually pay)
I showed you it is 12% or less for a couple ,making $100,000.


the effective tax rate depends on ALOT of factors, many of which the
right wants to elmiinate for the middle class in favor of cutting
taxes for the wealthy.

aint no right winger talking about eliminating middle class taxes like
they are capital gains


Tax capital gains 2 things happen.

1) USA is less attractive for investing and less jobs.
2) Those that do invest will get double the gains to pay the taxes and
it will come from wages.

Either way, just screwing the middle class.

Tax greed isn't going to solve DCs problem but it is liable to make it a
whole lot worse.
