If you read the entire article you'll notice that this isn't the only "interactive graphic". Go down further to where it says "How the Tax Law Might Affect You". It pretty much covers all the bases.
This submission seems to be deliberately misleading. The article itself is far less insulting.
The article also has a link to an interactive tax calculator that lets you compare 2012 tax rates with 2013 tax rates:
Hah, I felt exactly the same way. How ever will the parents with 4 kids making $650k per year ever be able to survive without that $21k taken in taxes? Will they not be able to remodel that master bath at their 2nd beach home in Nantucket for another month? Will they have to slum it in the penthouse of the 4-star hotel in Cancun for Thanksgiving this year?

God forbid, the mom might actually have to skip one luxury D&G bag this year! OH THE HUMANITY!
But seriously, though, $260k single mom? What alternate universe do the editors live in?
A real "interactive graphic" for exploring NYC data: http://envisioningdevelopment.net/map
I'm sure that the kids are sad because their 1 parent is always off doing a more-than-fulltime job so they are always left at daycare where the creepy dad figure tries to teach them about jesus christ and tells them that if they play video games and listen to rock music they will be going to hell.
Also: I'm trying to figure out what's interactive about this "interactive graphic."
Also: It's amusing to play "guess the profession." Mine: the single mom and the single women are lawyers--senior associates but not partners. The single mom is divorced. In the family of six, the dad is an MD at a bank, but in one of the less cash-cow divisions. The wife is a college educated stay at home mom. The retired couple: the man is a retired NYPD deputy chief, and the woman is a retired teacher. The single woman lives in Manhattan, the single mom lives in a gentrified part of Brooklyn, the retired couple has a nice place in one of the gentrified parts of Harlem, and the family of four lives in Greenwich and the dad commutes down every morning.
