Taxing 250k because they can afford it?

“A quick look at our family budget, which I will gladly share with the White House, will show him that, like many Americans, we are just getting by despite seeming to be rich. We aren’t,” Henderson wrote.
He said he and his wife, a doctor, paid $100,000 in federal and state taxes last year and $15,000 in property taxes. He wrote that they have a mortgage on a house they own a short distance from President Obama’s home, and they are paying off $250,000 in student loans. With an annual income of more than $250,000, he wrote, he and his wife are far from super-rich.

But almost as soon as he hit the send button, a firestorm erupted.. Henderson says he was inundated with e-mails that divided along the lines of “die yuppie scum” and “thank you for saying what we couldn’t say.” He says the vehement tone of the responses -- he called it “an electronic lynch mob” -- and fears for his family forced him to delete the post and quit blogging altogether. A business website estimated his income at more than $400,000, a figure Henderson disputes.

There is nothing more depressing in America than seeing your neighbor get rich. It may help a little if the liberals can lay some punitive taxation on them.
Our government thinks they know many ways to spend your money better than you do.
Ironically this income range buys and builds houses they can afford and creates jobs by spending money.

The rich are saving millions on insurance now. Tax them.

As miss Obama said it's time for the haves to give to the have nots. You know, balance it out.

wealth distribution? Id love to see the look on a Doctor's face who spent half his life at a University then in residency to get as far as he did "we're taking half your money and giving it to those that didn't want to spend as much time as you did working for it"

Same with the MCAT. The smart kids should get the same med school entrance exam scores as the slow learners. Gotta have social justice and equality.
