> Does a family making 250K-300K in Seattle really count as "rich"? ...A family earning 200-250K in Seattle will definitely feel this tax.

A family of 4 could live pretty well on half that in Seattle. Maybe they aren't "rich" as in "filthy rich", but I don't see how they'd actually feel it, other than savings goals having to be slightly less aggressive.

At $250,000 / year, your pre-tax monthly income would be about $28,833 and a tax of 2.25% would shrink that by $468. I don't see how I could honestly say I felt the tax if I made only half of 250k and they double it to 4.5%.
