So let me get this straight -- the government says you get to keep more of the money you earn, and so do the rich, but that makes you unhappy?

I could certainly understand the outrage if the gov't said "we're taking more out of the paychecks of the poor and middle class, but people in the upper incomes -- their paychecks will be higher". That would be upsetting, no doubt. But everybody gets to keep more of what they earn.

Am I correct to think that the only way you'd be happy is that your paycheck stays the same but anybody with a bigger paycheck takes a hit?

Your happiness depends on someone else's unhappiness?
