Quote"This reflects the fact that Americans in high-income brackets had a very good year in 2006," said Lou Crandall, chief economist at Wrightson ICAP in Jersey City, New Jersey.

The rich are getting richer?  Say it ain't so.

Varying possibilities for efforts to change the Federal tax code

Frankly, it's just more patchwork for a tax code that needs a complete overhaul... but at least Rangel's working on something.  The AMT needs to be killed, and quick.

Raising the rate of Capital Gains is the only thing that doesn't make sense to me.  It's basically a deterrent for Americans investing in American businesses through purchase of stock.  Income-based tax hikes make much more sense... IMO.

Plan announced

4% tax hike on individuals making over $150k and couples making over $200k.  Holy marriage penalty, Batman!

It's about time you suckas get what you deserve.

The good news is "suckas" have to make over 200,000 bones to even qualify for that.  It will hurt married couples in major metro areas like Boston (lol at rjs) before it hurts me.

thats why getting married is gay.

The good news is that rich gay people won't care that they can't get married anymore, right?


In other news, I finally broke down and got a CPA.  It will be worth every penny I pay him, IMO.

Yet the gays still want to marry.

it's easy to say that when you're so rich that you could be taxed 99% and still be wealthy

Fiscal discipline in the U.S. government is dead on both sides of the aisle.

Bill Clinton is the most fiscally-responsible President since Nixon.
