In reply to the discussion: Obama Tax Cuts Rejected In House [View all]jmowreader
(50,557 posts)37. There are six brackets, not three
Married filing jointly:
10% - up to $17,000
15% - $17,001 - $69,000
25% - $69,001 - $139,350
28% - $139,351 - $212,300
33% - $212,301 - $379,150
35% - $379,151 or more
And speaking of Boner's assertion that "about a million of the people you want to raise taxes on are small business owners," how many of them are Amway types, day traders, house flippers, people running businesses with no employees outside the family, and other "make your own job" people? There is a difference between a small businessman who has employees, is meeting a payroll, etc., and a small businessman who runs a hot dog stand all by himself.

I think most Americans would support a higher bracket for the ultra rich.
