2138 - Poor poor rich people

Here's an article from the Wall Street Journal telling us how the tax increases will devastate certain income groups. Here's a picture that explains it all. (click it to big it.)


No wonder all these people are looking so sad. That poor single person that only makes 230K a year will have to pay an extra $3000 a year. MY GOD! How is she going to make it!

Or the single mom that's only making 260K? What will SHE do?!

And the poor poor family that makes 650K a year will have to pay an extra 21K. Why that's half of a new Beemer. They may have to drive a car that's more than a year old! OMG, what will they do? How will the cope?

If you want to read the whinny ass article this came from it's HERE.

If I was making $250,000 a year, I'd be grinning like a Chesire cat!

What married couple with four children has an income of $650K?? When Agnes and I were both working, we never came close to even $200K, and I think we were pretty well off. It would be interesting to know where they came up with those bizarre income figures.

I have attempted to share my thoughts on this topic but keep failing to make it short.

so I will say....I'd have kids though if I could make 650K a year. Just sayin'

Angel - I would think about going back to work for 250K a year.

Bilbo - I think this article is about the 1%er's.

Peg - You could buy some that were already trained.

At this point, I'm only interested in the retired couple--but I'd have to get a substantial raise to retire with that income.

Most people would be happy with half as much.

A woman on Tumblr posted how much more she is now paying in income taxes because of the "tax deal." She got flooded with people congratulating her on finding a way to let everyone know how much money she makes.

She deleted the post.

John - More than substantial for me.

Duck - I would be ecstatic.

Jay - One of the uppity ups not knowing the underlings know how to figure things out?
