so you will be advocating that you give more ?


250K is a small amount of income compared to the real wealth in this country.
Of the top 1% of earners, they hold the slightest fraction of the wealth.
This is the group comprised of those that have worked themselves up from small means. Many of them are still showing a net negative wealth. THis is not old money. This is not the great corporate wealth in this country. Targeting this group is runs absolutely counter to the american dream. It is punitive and politically satisfying, but accomplishes nothing.

You are doing nothing but ensuring that our sons and daughters will never leave the middle class. There is no care for those less fortunate in this,
just misplaced retribution.
