The Almighty
There are no 2011 tax brackets yet....just as there are no 2012 or 2013 tax brackets yet.
They would become what they were in 2000....would become by definition means the future....lets not torture the language to make a meaningless point.
Status quo is the present state of affairs
You are incorrect. Businesses have already started adjusting payroll systems to the 2011 tax brackets.
They most certainly DO exist right now. How do we know what they are? We take the case of 'what happens if Congress does nothing'. THAT is how we know what the 2011 tax brackets currently are.
