I really hate these people. Our household income is just shy of 200K and it will go over that mark next Spring come our performance review and COLA periods... I guess I'm the Man and we're "rich" oppressive bastards that need to pay for getting an education and working our asses off for the past decade. Sheesh. Hello taxes, goodbye private school for the kids. Hello gang-ridden, crappy local public school.

And considering that the Dem-run county we live in keeps raising home tax assessments, it's likely goodbye decent neighborhood, too. Goodbye safe neighborhood; guess we'll have to move back to the old gang-infested, falling down neighborhood we lived in when we were just starting out.

If Obama is elected, we're going to have to ask for pay cuts so we don't creep into the next bracket.

I am becoming so resentful of communists. U.S. workers are supposedly the most productive in the world. I believe the reason is because so many corporations take advantage of their salaried personnel, of which I am one. My next salary increase in January will probably put me over $90K--and I am now single. However, I often have weeks where I work 30% overtime--without pay or time off. Supposedly, that's why they "pay us so much." Why should I be working my tail off for more of my money to be confiscated (stolen) to give to others? I built my career (by the Grace of God) as a single mother with two sons, from the time they were 6 and 10 years old (18 years ago). I don't see room in my budget for the reversal of the Bush tax cuts, much less additional cuts to share my "wealth."
