&gt; <i>The rate only increases if your income is above $250k, which doesn&#x27;t seem unreasonable.</i><p>How &quot;reasonable&quot; that seems would depend on from which side of the $250k mark you are looking at it. Of course it is an easy sell to convince people to vote for a tax they don&#x27;t have to pay. But such is democracy... two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.
