Some interesting stats here (of course, if you don't like them, feel free to label them liberal propaganda ) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_income_in_the_United_States

So, only 18% of people in the States have personal incomes over $100,000.

But they are doing a GRAND job of persuading at least another 33% of the American voters (what they'll need for a majority) that a tax hike on those that make $200,000 a year will be against these lower payed Joe's interests.

But, I guess as long as you keep dropping education standards year by year, this kind of math may be beyond Joe Sixpack's capability

Look, if the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy HAD have been good for the country (and not just the rich) we would not be in the mess we are.

Everybody on this forum that makes over $200,000 a year hold up your hands...

Yep... didn't think so.

People like to vote the American Dream. But then they have to go home to the American Reality. And that, for all but the top 20%, has been getting grimmer and grimmer
