90K and up aren't the super rich. The super rich make $5 or 10 million/year and up and they're making a killing. Bill Clinton says he's received tax cut after tax cut and he's never been so wealthy. We should drop all income tax below a certain point, say, $20 or $30K for families. That money would go directly into the economy and be spent and circulate and help all of us. FICA isn't killing the middle class, the lack of jobs, the high cost of healthcare, the AMT, the high cost of college, etc. are killing the middle class. The middle and even upper middle class won't care about FICA when they figure out that their cushy professional jobs can easily be outsourced. If you can outsource radiology and heart surgery today, exactly what can't be outsourced in the future except by some protectionist law? The struggling poor in this country aren't the enemy, the enemy is a rapacious political system bent on making everyone (except for themselves) poor. Welcome to 2020 which is starting to look a whole lot like 1920. Do you really wish to live in a world like that?
