I don't think $250,000 a year is rich. It is a very nice living, but the more you make, the more you spend. Most people spend similar percentages of their incomes for housing, transportation, food and entertainment, etc. Why should people who make over $250,000 pay a much higher tax rate than someone who makes less? If you want to make more money, get more training and work harder. Why is it OK to punish people who do well?
Are the people who work harder the "fortunate" ones? I think the lazy fuckers who sit home all day and get fed like fucking pets are pretty damn "fortunate."
What do you think? I guess I am a Capitalist Pig, but I think hard work should be rewarded, not taxed.
The man is a socialist.
