As a solidly-middle-class tech worker in Massachusetts, your stance hurts a bit.

I'm a life-long renter with a family and elderly mother to support, and an IPO windfall would give me some much needed breathing room.

I don't know who you picture when you think of a windfall recipient, but I can assure you I am not lighting any cigars with $100 bills.

Poor baby getting $540k after tax instead of $580k On your $1M windfall. How will you sleep at night?

(Edit: and that’s aggressively acting as if the marginal income tax rates were applied to the whole thing)
