Taxing the rich - what is the cutoff?

[onlydarksets]

Not necessarily - most 5th year attorneys at major firms make around $250k. Starting salary for 1st years at major firms is $160k. Partner track is 8-10 years, so partner at 35 (which actually results in a pay cut at first) is not an unreasonable plan. It's doable, but SGG would feel the 3% hit. If another tax increase comes in a few years, it may not actually be doable.

Of course, if you want to be a public defender, then you're screwed.
