Representative Tom Emmer complains about the DFL's plan to tax "take home pay" of couples making more than $200,000. Earlier Senator Tom Bakk explained that the tax is not on earned income, but on taxable income. A couple can actually earn much more than $200K before the additional tax would kick in because there are deductions and credits. The difference between "take home pay" and "taxable income" can be very large.Tom Emmer is the GOP endorsed candidate for Governor of Minnesota
