>> It's completely obvious.

What is completely obvious is that you can't raise a significant amount of money by taxing those earning over 250K.

Bentway, you didn't answer my question.

The graph you posted shows 4% of Americans make $200K or more. That's pretty good IMO; a significant portion of the population is making a lot of money these days.

Sounds like you want to reduce that to 0.1%, and it's all because you think it's UNFAIR that they get to make that much. Why is that? If they studied hard, worked hard, and achieved the American dream, shouldn't they make significantly more than the typical Occupy Wall Street loser?

It's unfair of you to want to deprive others of their wealth because you feel like a loser in life.
