I'm not entirely happy with the way the taxes have lowered. I don't like large chains of businesses, and how they were basically whittled to death to not have much of an impact unless the business has an obscene number of stores still irks me from the first bill.
However, in income taxes brackets, we have them set up to be marginal rates for a very good reason. People who make only a tiny bit over the line between one bracket and another aren't slammed with the tax rate of that bracket, their money is taxed as this amendment would make this tax be applied.
IMO, that's only fair, and Badger's very lengthy and reasonable explanations always give me a warm fuzzy feeling inside when I'm watching the debate. He goes to great lengths to pitch his amendments, and though I didn't agree with him when he watered down the taxes a bit too far in the first bill, I am in complete agreement with him here.
Therefore, on the amendment, I vote Aye.
