Raising taxes is anologous to taxing landlords more. All they are going to do is reaise rents to compensate for the higher tax in which case you have essentially burdened those you were looking to help.

250K can be earned in 2 different ways. If you are taking home a W2 then it gets whitled away pretty quicly with taxes. On the other hand if you make 250K as a business owner it means that you probably netted close to twice that amount.

Would anyone argue that the employee vs the business owner are in the same boat?
