If you are making 250k a year, you are rich enough (the key word is enough), and you should be taxed accordingly. Also, for those saying 250k is not a lot in San Diego, are you out of your mind? Then how does those people work in retail shops and fast food restaurants live with only 30k max (the adjustment on where you live is not as big as you thought). Btw, Warren Buffet the richest man in the US want the tax cut to be gone, too. Personally, I am all in favor of high taxation because if you haven’t realized that the greatest time in the US history are all under extremely high taxation. Oh forgot to mention, for those who are in favor of keeping the tax cut, it is fine by me because it is in my family’s favor.
