Uh. I don't know whether I even know anyone who makes $250K/year. I know some pretty well off people and I thought they made less than that. Where do these mythical people live? Buildings around Central Park? Private islands in the San Juans? Mount Olympus?

'Cept if some rich guy gets a $254,000 tax increase, then they won't be able to afford more mutual funds or a few more cars and they can always send the money - or themselves - offshore. Whereas at the bottom? A $412 increase is a bit over a month of riding the bus to and from work and maybe groceries, about a year of doing your clothes at the laundromat, or maybe a month of rent if you're lucky. And it's certain that us at the bottom aren't able to move our bank accounts offshore.
