They want to raise the taxes on persons and couples that earn over $250k
Under Obama?s plan, in 2013 the top rate on ordinary income would rise from 35% to 39.6% while the top rate on dividends and long term capital gains would go from 15% to 20%.
I'm not making fun of myself, but keep it up and it will be easy to make fun of you!

I'm making a totally different argument than the one you are seeing. I guess you are unable to understand it and just want to see a simple numbers game. I have twice said that I am not talking about the top wage earners who are going to get taxed, I already explained that the cut off is $250K and I'm fully aware of that. Should I explain that a third time for you?
I'm talking about a very small number of elite Americans who are able to steer the debate in a direction that servs their interests. If you want to believe that the debate this country is having on taxes and the debt is both honest and transparent, then I guess there is no point in arguing with you anymore.
