Double my taxes? Not even close.

Reader comment on: Paul Krugman Wants To Double Your Taxes

Submitted by Kevin (United States), Apr 25, 2011 22:29

I'm in the top quintile of wage earners in the U.S., but at the bottom end of that quintile. The progressive tax proposal will hit me in exactly one place -- Social Security -- and the additions won't even come close to doubling my taxes.

Or are you only addressing earners with more than a half-million per year in this column? And leaving out the other 98% of wage earners.
