That WSJ thing...
The article itself is a perfectly useful and informative piece of information about the changing tax rates and complexities thereof. I get the feeling not a lot of people actually read it.
The infographic, however, is bizarre. Why the crazy outlier scenarios and doubly so why the sad faces straight off of a poster for Les Miserables?
If I ever have an AGI of $230,000 and look that despondent over a $3,000 tax increase, someone please shoot me in the head. Everyone has the "right" to bitch about their taxes, but if a $3k adjustment to your net income at that level means you're on the road to ruin then you have really fucked up.
