it is rich.

Think about that.....lets say a husband and wife each make $125,000/year....you wouldnt consider that to be rich?

If you have 2 people in your household making 6 figures, you're rich IMO. Hell alot of times, if a husband is making 6 figs, the wife will stay home and raise the kids b/c they can afford it

depends, what if you live in Manhattan and have 3 kids?

This. Do you complain when the govt takes more money out of your paycheck? Well, so do rich people.
No, we don't.

When has the government taking more out of the checks of anyone here?

Yes really.

Income taxes are on the state and federal level.

Or maybe I'm missing something

Take a family of 4 with an income of 250k a year Two kids attending public schools and a mortgage. If you want your kids do attend a decent public school you'll be paying higher property taxes than someone who doesnt have kids in school anymore and moves to a more desolate area. 250k after mortgage property taxes etc goes down to about...130 maybe? Those are the folks you want to raise the income tax on?

200,000 after the 33% income tax comes out to only 130-140 thousand... I don't consider that rich...:manny:

It is

What's the point of adding all these life scenarios

The poverty line for a household of 4 is $23,000

The median income for a house of 4 is $51,000

There's is no scenario that will not make that amount of money be considered "rich"

Absolutely.

Why should we sympathize for people who can afford to move into a neighborhood and pay high property taxes?

Should I have sympathy for someone making 5 times more than the median income for a house of 4?

Property taxes funding education is MAJOR problem and flaw with public ed anyway

we're talking within reason to the majority of Americans. Living in NYC and making 6 figs is not really a huge deal. Living in the Bay Area and making 6 figs may not be a big deal either given the cost of houses out there.

But if you live in Texas, La, Miss, Ok, Ark, etc and have a $250,000 household, you are sittin pretty

Dog you're crazy...we must consider rich two different things then.
Nope, I'm pretty sure out idea of rich is the same exact thing,

Just because a person accumulates expenses that take a sizable portion of their income doesn't mean they're not rich

no ones asking for your sympathy you just don't understand logic.

What's your take on education then- privatize it?

By your name on here I'm assuming you live in the south. You gotta keep in mind that the Northeast is about 4x more expensive for everything than down south. 250k in NYC, Boston, Philly really isn't rich by any means. Its comfortable, yes, but def not rich.

This isn't logical, it's greed

Every extra dollar being taxes will be used by the government far better than person complaining about the taxes will ever use it

I don't like privatized anything.

The kids with all the resources at home shouldn't also get all the resources from the government in education
