I didn't say to ONLY tax the super rich. I said, if there is going to be an increase in taxes, only increase it for the super rich. People making less than $250k are still paying taxes under McCain and Obama's plans, they're just not being increased.
90% of people earn less than $250k. You're saying that 90% of Americans are lazy? lol. Those are the employees of the super rich, the small business owners, the consumers that make the economy go round and round.
Read Buffet's statement to see why it's fair (or rather why the system right now is unfair).
