I will vote for the measure, however, I am offended by the pro ads to put in the category of "rich". I am a single mother, with one child in college and one almost there--with a minimalist ex-husband.

The cut off for single filers should not be half of double. It costs a lot of money to run a household, and when two people are doing it, their expenses are much lower and split between them...ie one cell phone account, one house payment, etc.  For example, for single filers it should be $150,000 or something, not $125,000.
