"A family with $300,000 income also would be hit by the changes in itemized deductions and capital gains, and in 2011 would see its tax rate rise to 36 percent from 33 . However, because they would no longer owe the AMT, a couple with two children would owe just $1,100 in additional taxes after the budget, compared to an additional $5,000 for an individual making $300,000, according to Deloitte Tax." I don't know if this qualifies as hate. Relatively speaking, these are 1/2 steps. It could be far, far worse given our budget deficits.

When shrub's tax cuts expire the rate bracket increase starts @ $170K for a married couple, not $250K.

Dunno about you, but I feel a very long annual vacation is in order for the next 4 years, starting every September. Shouldn't be too hard to stay under $250K that way......time to smell the roses (or they might end up on you).....
