There's no point in a 1% rate. Just don't tax income under $8,025. I also think that a 50% rate should cut in much earlier than a million, but I suspect that I might be in a small minority on that Tongue

5. Gee, I wonder who creates jobs in this country? Certainly not some poor guy from Alabama.

The rich do not create jobs either as they do not have magical powers.

Quoting that bitch at me is generally a mistake. I'm actually in a fairly good mood at the moment, so you haven't actually provoked a rant, but you may not be so lucky in the future.

Oh, and the quote is meaningless and your argument totally devoid of logic or thought.

For most people there is no ladder - well, maybe a stepladder if they're lucky.

I know plenty of people who live in big cities, actually and have actually lived in one (though not for very long).

Only if you're using the British/Commonwealth definition of middle class, I'm afraid. Someone on a million dollars a year is rich, and that's the end of discussion. They might not be as rich as some other rich people, yet rich they are all the same and claims to the contrary deserve to be met with a mixture of laughter and scorn. Btw, all of your qualifiying remarks here are far more interesting than you realise...

Because everyone loves statistics!

Percentage of households in NYC with an income of over $200,000 in 2008 (adjusted for inflation, etc)... 6.3%

Did you know 98% of statistics are made up Tongue (sorry, I'm a sucker for paradoxes)

This particular statistic, however, comes from the ACS and is about as reliable as things that aren't from a proper census can get...
