re: #38 lawhawk
That increase affects only dollars over the $400/$450k top bracket. Amounts under that amount are subject to the lower bracket rates.
Say you make $500k as a married couple. The first $450k is subject to the lower bracket rates and only the remaining $50k above $450 is subject to the new higher rate. It’s a 4.6% hike on income above $450.
That’s not much more than a symbolic hike.
