Why would you be shocked? There's all sorts of nasty things in these tax proposals for the less than wealthy. They are looking everywhere they can to find offsets to make the tax cuts for the donor class work under the budget rules.

If you're getting options and RSUs, you're going to be upper middle class at least, and thus wealthy by the definitions of most Americans.

Not by the definition of this bill, though, which is what matters.

The majority of HN readers are going to see a net increase in taxation, to fund giveaways to the GOP's donor class.

When people talk about this package benefiting the wealthy, they mean very wealthy people. The upper-middle-class would probably take more damage from it than most.

The definitions of most Americans doesn't matter in this case. What's in the proposed congressional bills matters.
