i heard today that it’s individuals over $200,000, and households over $250,000 per annum.

smitty: wtf? really? my wife and i are in the top – ohh – 7-10% as a household, and we don’t make anywhere near an income that would be affected by restoring clinton-era tax rates.

i can’t imagine how much scorn and derision the lower classes are heaping on those who make more than them for having such a petty argument.

at long last, where is our sense of decency?

nonetheless, the missus and i have discussed this, and we agree that we’re okay with paying an extra $200-$400 yearly in taxes if it means keeping social programs solvent and funding economic growth on the backs of those in the 90th percentile of wage earners.

how the hell can anyone who makes over $250,000 a year gripe about taxes?

shameful.

hey, btw, republicans voted for tax increases on the middle class today. edit: my bad. they didn’t vote today. they will tomorrow, though.

:P
