Look, this dialogue is a little silly. It doesn't matter what people pay in taxes if the dollar crashes to 1/4 of its prior peak. The fact is somebody has to pay off this massive debt that Bush has left. Its not like we are in 2000 or in the Clinton era when we had surpluses to discuss. Now its just a matter of how much suffering each group is going to do, proportionately. You act like cutting taxes is some kind of possibility with a 10 TRILLION DOLLAR DEBT AND A ONE TRILLION DOLLAR DEFICIT. It is not- grow up!

So, you presume to know my financial situation? How clairvoyant. Do you do it professionally? Yes, I believe that income of $250K and above should be taxed at the previous rate, even if it affects me. Having written plenty of checks to government in the past, I realize that if we want to do the things we know are right, it requires everyone to put in a fair share - which is higher for those making a great deal. In troubled times, that fair share may be lower for those who suffer the most. Better than soup kitchens.
