@innismir We can haggle about where to draw the line. Suspect it doesn't make much difference to revenue, but a big diff for middle class.

@hal_pomeranz @daveshackleford If the tax increases don't affect you, you shouldn't have a say in their fate.

@hal_pomeranz @daveshackleford The cries are always "Increase *their* taxes, not mine, I'm paying too much!"
