Now we know why the middle class is shrinking. If you earn above $200,000, you’re the Evil Rich. If you earn below $80,000, you’re the downtrodden poor. The middle class is being defined out of existence.

ALL taxes newly imposed on the "rich" immediately affect everybody earning $50k or more.

Unless it's welfare in cash or in kind or in subsidy or in lieu.
