The rightwing fight for the rich to pay low taxes while the rest of us bear the real burden. Their favorite tact is to pick the lowest cut-off point like $200,001 and say "that's not rich". But first of all most of the rich make much more than $200,000, and secondly $200,000 is rich depending on where you live and if you have a family to support. A bachelor in Iowa making $200,000 is definitely rich. The family man in New York City is not. That's why we have child tax credits, to even things out a bit. But the cut-off has to come somewhere and I'd advise the guy making $201,000 to lower his salary $1001. gg
