If we need to tax the super rich more, where does that number start?

$250k/year is not even rich, much less super rich

    Not just that, but Obama's claim that the rich pay taxes at a lower rate is a lie. Even the left-leaning AP has called him out on it.

    Set it where ever you want....it means nothing more than a bumper sticker with "hope" printed on it.

    Any increase in taxes will be shouldered by the middle and working class....This is something known by every Machine politician and Kennedy disciple since Joe Kennedy Sr. realized that the working classes could be fooled into almost anything so long as the packaging was pretty enough...

    It should at least be a rate that is not lower than what the middle class pays.

    The capital gains tax should be raised to at least 25% for people with a large amount of wealth. Most of them didn't earn it anyway.

    Shhhhh, don't tell the liberals they're being bamboozled.

    We'd never see a fight is they started a new bracket for "millionaires and billionaires."
