A family making $300k in Manhattan should not be taxed a lot, unless you think a family making ~$115k in Montgomery, Alabama should also be taxed a lot.
Policy is best written by the informed rather than the emotional.

This is about a family earning $600,000/yr.

Maybe read correctly before you start complaining. It was 300k EACH, so 600k
I live in a borderline HCOL/VHCOL city, and arguments like this get thrown around a lot on local boards. But yet the median household income is right around 100k.
People on sites like this tend to have a skewed view of normal.
Also we're discussing a household income of 600k+, not 300k.
