Minte has told us that if his taxes are going to be raised it won't affect his lifestyle at all. If that's the case, why don't we do it? He will still be driving a $200k car and still going on vacation. He won't notice the money missing at all.

they probably can pay the 1%, but why can't everyone pay 1%? At least that way everyone will have a skin in the game, so there will be some motivation to find better ways to fix the problem, instead of just temporarily fixing it by having someone else pay for it...
no one is going to get effected by 1% increase in any meaningful way, rich or poor, lets not kid ourselves... 1% increase to middle class will mean they will have to cancel HBO or get a new ipad every 2 years instead of every year....
