so just cause i know you’re wrong C02…

some back of the envelope calculations using Turbotax:

Assuming: married couple with 1 dependant child making $200k in wages, only taking the standard deduction (10,700) which you would of course be stupid to do. Living and working in NYC.

Turbotax comes up with federal taxes of $39,141 and NY state and city taxes of $18,814 for a grand total of $57,955 in taxes and a tax rate of…29%

I realize this is a very crude way to do it but if anything doing it like this is overly liberal. I think i’ll trust turbotax here rather than your gross exaggerations. I’m sorry you’re wrong.

Maybe you should go back to arguing that poor people should pay more for the subway because they ride it for longer distances…that argument might make more sense than arguing that a kid whose parents make $200k should get lots of financial aid.
