PS I am upper middle class, or lower upper class. I made top 4% income last year. Will be 3% this year and 2% next year.
I couldn't care less what your earnings are and may yet be, that's NOT the point at all. What IS the point, is that people have planned for using the current deductions and will now be hurt by this proposed change.
But since you earn SOOOOOOOOOOO much and don't believe that you'll be harmed any, by this provision, then pay more to the government; there is a line on your tax return to do so, and spare those of us who happen to have large state taxes and property taxes. Do it for your fellow man. ;^)
