I am in a higher income bracket. I am also in a position that distributes budget and has responsibility in hiring of staff and distribution of income and benefits to them.
The amount of and manner of which I am taxed and regulated directly impacts my willingness to contribute privately and choices in allocation of resources to employees.
However, honestly, only to a certain degree that isn't too awful.
What is awful and crippling is the speculation about how these things may change going forward. It is coupled with an increasing sense of entitlement to more. Naturally, from a business standpoint, the approach to speculation is to tighten the screws and act more conservatively until more certainty is known. Unfortunately, those actions also drive the divide between employer and employee even further.
