Who believes that the economic burden of being middle class in America is difficult.
TaxProf blog posted an interesting excerpt from Todd Zywicki’s op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal about double income (at a middle class level) families and their struggle with an increased tax burden. The piece was derived from a review of The Two Income Trap: Why Middle Class Mothers and Fathers are Going Broke, by Harvard Law School Professor Elizabeth Warren and her daughter Amelia Tyagi.
I’ve previously explored this idea of working mothers – and increased expenses – on taxgirl here.
I’d love to hear your experiences. Do you have a two income family? Do you feel that both of you work because you want to, or because you have to? Do you find that increased income has lead to increased financial burdens?
