>Oh yes it is. Every mention of the 1% includes doctors making $400K. Yes, but that's not really what most people care about. >Let's not forget that 1% becomes 2% becomes 5%. Obama's proposed tax increases will affect the top 5%, which includes households making $175K/year. Which is OK. $175K is a lot of money. >Here in California, Governor Moonbeam successfully passed a new tax on all income above $250K. He called that a "millionaires' tax," and even said that those making $250K, if they saved everything they made, would become "millionaires" in four years. I have no problem with it. >This is indeed about the doctors making $400K. If you mean who should be taxed, yeah. But income taxes are not a punishment. >Or the general practitioners making $175K. All in your pursuit of the wealth of the billionaires. It's all about class envy. No, it's about the fact that the top classes are making every additional dollar that the economy generates and the rest barely get crumbs. -Z
