“You're exactly right. It probably would not result in any change in the withholding because of that little bit of money, and they would have all of the tax cuts up to the first $250,000, and they would pay a slightly additional tax on the additional $2,000. One of the things that we need to point out is that with the stagnant economy, most workers haven't gotten a cost-of-living increase in a long time. If we can improve the economy, if we had a little more money and could create jobs and improve the economy such that employers think that people might actually walk off the job and go get another job, they are more likely to get a cost-of-living increase. That cost-of- living increase is more than the additional taxes that we're talking about in most cases.”
