I agree that it won’t be easy to cut spending but I think with a Democrat controlled congress, that might help vs a Republican controlled congress and Bush as president. It might not be easy but I think it must be done.
I agree that the extreme overtime and double can only be done for a short period of time and when kids come, that can’t happen. But there’s a broad paint stroke of all people making $250k are just leeches of society and don’t deserve the $ they earn. They don’t work for their $, so they shouldn’t be rewarded.
If you think 250k HH income is rich, then you must also consider an individual making $125k to be rich too, right?

I must have missed the post where anyone claimed that someone making 250K+/yr are leeches of society or that they don’t deserve the $$$ that they earn.
Has anyone here (or anywhere) advocated a 100% tax rate on earnings above 125K that I missed?
I think the general consensus on the liberal side is that anyone making that amount certainly does deserve an increased income – but at the same time, since they are clearly reaping the greatest benefits of our economic policies, they should bear a greater marginal share of supporting our economic policies.
