Ali, Since the bush tax cuts have been made permanent and cap gains rates have not changed, the only change you'd see is the new higher rate for earnings above 400K. Try higher state taxes, a cap on deductions, the expiration of the FICA break, etc. That's why I posted to you the graph of the "National Tax Freedom" day, because that provides probably the best apples-to-apples comparison of average tax burden over the years. All you do is continue to post data that only looks at specific data. There's a reason why half of all Americans pay next to nothing in federal income taxes, because it's the sharpest progressive tax in the nation. Tenchusatsu
