[quote=asianautica][quote=kev374]It is an OUTRAGE to consider someone earning $125k/yr as “wealthy” when that income can’t even afford a decent single family home over here in Orange County. Have you lost your mind??

I think you might have misunderstood my point kev374. That’s exactly my point, if one person making $125k/year is not considered “wealthy” (which I completely agree with), then $250k for 2 people is not “wealthy” either. Especially if we strive for equal pay among the sexes and a family having double income. [/quote]125k is about 3 times the median. That is wealthy by any standards.

Well, then you support the idea of lowering the bar for increasing taxes for single filer to $125k from $200k that Obama set. All I can say is, good luck to expensive cities like SF, NYC, etc. in trying to find workers to relocate there if Obama hold the same view of $125k/yr/person as wealthy and increase taxes for them.June 28, 2008 at 5:05 PM #230410anParticipant[quote=jficquette]

So $250k for married is probably the same wealth as $150k alone.
