Michael, when Hillary and Obama have been talking like this, it's been to the heartland and other rural areas where median incomes are in the 30s and 40s..

I also know that when Obama has spoken about raising taxes on SS, he's talked about that donut hole of folks who make btwn 100-200K range...excluding them...and that's what I mean when I say that some critics will not reveal these details..........

Dems typically will say 150k family is rich and should be taxed at 39.6 plus 5% state plus 7% fica + 7% sales tax on most everying they buy

That's a patently false statement. If Obama rolls back taxes to 1999, then families who earn $150K will pay 31% marginal rates on their last taxable income dollar. 39.6% was for folks in a higher tax bracket.
