I make more than 200k$ a year - and pay a dear amount of taxes on that. Why do you want to increase my taxes?? You do know I can easily move my income around, right? Italy, Switzerland, Austria... Estonia and a bunch of much more strange places come to my mind. Those moves are easy moves BTW. For you US tax payers guys, however, I believe your grace period is 10 years. Unless you have a good corporate set up like I have of course. After that you are free. Taro

Not sure when Obamas increase in Cap gains tax would kick in. I know he wants to pile some more tax on people who make over $250k. I'm sure they will rescind the 500k exemption on housing cap gains, just to be fair. <G> Obama's not for mandatory testing of students in public schools. Who knows if he really believes that but he has to pander to the NEA. Politics is a real load of BS sometimes.

I know. I don't particularly like that, but I do like the idea of increasing taxes on anyone who makes more than $200K per year. $200k per year in New York or SF is middle class. He should raise taxes on anyone making more than $200k per year and living in Arkansas. How about raising property tax to 20% for any home that the owner doesn't live in? Anybody who has two homes is rich, if you ask me. And they're keeping home prices too high for us non-owners. In fact, anyone who doesn't own a home yet should be entitled to a big rebate since we're so poor. Any anyone who has no kids should get a big rebate as well since we're too poor to procreate, and our family isn't using up our fair share of the public education system. People with more than two kids can pay an extra $2,500 per kid since they are using more than their fair share. So raise taxes on multi-home owner families with lots of kids (the truly rich, in every sense of the word), and cut taxes on single homeless sods. Vote for me!
