tom, if you are paying as much in tax as you earned a few years ago, then you are earning much more money. that is a bad thing? we all hate taxes and we all hate the self service attitude of govt (and all human) organizations. our local red cross president pulls $300k plus... not bad for charity work, right... ;-) it sounds like you didn't plan well for the graduated tax (the last $20k is taxed much higher than the first $20k ;-) if you are saying they raised rates... that's news to me!

Tommaso, it's a "high class" problem but sounds like you need to do some planning. You've previously indicated that a large part of either yours or your wife's retirement account is in Treasuries, and you're currently paying income tax on 85% gains in your taxable accounts? Well, it's your money - or not!
