If the reports are true, there will be cuts across the income spectrum, but most heavily for pass through businesses and middle class households

Will you let your hatred of trump result in less money in your pocket?

This is Trump's proposal from his campaign. How exactly are middle classes getting much of a tax break when income from $112,500 to $190,150 is going from a 28% tax rate to the highest bracket (33% or 35%)?

This shows how out of touch you are with everyday Americans. 100k+ isn't middle class

You're talking to people who get their worldview from Samantha Bee and Stephen Colbert.

Seriously, and for married, majority of middle class (I guess technically upper middle class?) is either staying flat or paying more. This plan looks like shite.

While it may not look great for me I'm counting on a raise in wages in response to lowered corporate taxes.

You can live like a fricking king at 100k. That's not middle class. I know your day to day expenditures will vary whether you have kids or not but 100k is upper crust middle class at the lowest rung.

I make well over 100k annually and I sure as frick ain't rich. I don't have frick you money. Yes, I don't starve and I pay my bills but that's middle class. I live in a 200k home in a decent neighborhood not a fricking mansion with a Lambo.

I have family that make 33k/year and don't qualify for any government assistance other than some help with Medicare. You aren't middle class at "well over 100k" bud.

Maybe here in SW Oklahoma you can live like a king but in any major area 100k is not living like a king.

Just because that person is POOR doesn't mean I'm rich bruh. I'm as middle class as it comes. I wouldn't even say upper middle class.

Middle class =/= 45-75% earning brackets.

Being middle class means you can stop working without worrying about bills. Being wealthy means you can do that without your grandchildren worrying about working.

Most people who think they are middle class are working class because they have to work for a living.

You need to look up the percentage of people that make well over 100k. You aren't middle class man. You're lower upper class at the worst.

How exactly does someone else’s tax rates make a difference of what the “middle class” pays?

Provided exemptions, and reductions are pretty close to know the chart is kinda misleading. Pretty much no one u til half-way up I to the 25% bracket actually pays any income tax.
