[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Exactly.  So this business of calling the $250k+ rich and taxing at the top brackets does not have historical basis, is a relatively new phenomenon, and has never been adjusted for today's dollars from the $1M in the 1930's, as is so often chirped in news bites or scribbled in op eds.  That's my point:  raise the top tax bracket through the roof, but go after the Buffet rich (Warren said they wouldn't mind the tax hike), not today's new "working wealthy."
I'm delighted that we're moving toward agreement.  I would propose an increase in tax rates at $250K--not necessarily to 1982 levels (50%, $100K threshold), but steeper than for families that make only $100K (and another step to make the $50K rate yet smaller).  But I'm with you on putting in an extra top rate for folks who are unbelievably wealthy.[/quote]

Wow.  That never happens on DCUM.  Do you think we could arrange a beerfest with Barack and share our views?  Let's add usernameman, too.  He tries really hard (or he's smart but lazy; either way, he usually comes up with a point and his posts are grammatically correct).  [/quote]
