Explain why tax "rates" are not a good indicator of actual taxes paid and criticize a tax policy proposal that may increase taxes for some middle class earners.
Tax “rates” mean NOTHING. The only tax that matters is the tax you pay and that is your effective tax rate. How many millions of upper middle class wage earners are going to get a tax increase here with the loss of deductions and it will be retroactive. When Clinton did this Republicans squealed like stuck pigs.
