South of Milwaukee and with a mix of agriculture and manufacturing, the county is in the heart of the congressional district represented by House Speaker Paul Ryan, the top congressional champion for the Obamacare replacement bill.

The county had 95,040 tax filers in 2015 -- the most recent data available -- and 1,060, or 1.1 percent, paid the additional Medicare tax. That’s about one in every 90. Slightly more Racine County filers paid investment income tax, about one in every 74. By contrast, in New York County, which includes Manhattan and where Clinton won with 87.2 percent of the vote, more than one out of every 10 filers paid the Medicare tax, and one out of every nine paid the investment income tax.

California Counties

Peuschold, who owns a cabinet-making shop and purchases insurance for his 15 employees, said he doesn’t earn enough to qualify for either proposed tax cut. The wealthy could afford to keep paying the levies, he said.

“I don’t like the cut because it’s pocket change for them,” he said. “Us guys that work all the time don’t have the deep pockets. It’s us people who are in the middle class who are the backbone of this country.”

In addition to New York County, two counties in California ranked at the top for people who paid the additional Medicare tax: In Marin, north of San Francisco, 9.8 percent of filers paid it. In Santa Clara, which includes Silicon Valley, 9 percent did. Clinton won both counties with more than 70 percent of the vote.

Falls Church, a “county equivalent” in Virginia, had a slightly higher share of tax filers -- 11.2 percent -- who paid the added Medicare tax, the data shows. Located within commuting distance of Washington, the suburb is known for its upscale homes and neighborhoods. Clinton won 75.8 percent of its vote.

‘Sizable’ Benefits

“The repeal of the Affordable Care Act is going to deliver sizable tax benefits to those high-income households,” said Scott Greenberg, an analyst at the politically conservative Tax Foundation.

Money from the two taxes has been a key ingredient in financing the 2010 health-care law and Democrats have criticized the proposed cuts, saying they’ll increase the economic gap between the most affluent and everyone else.
