Coca-Cola said: tax hike for people earning $250k. how is that good for the economy? who will invest?
I heard on the radio today that Obama changed (he is for change) the amount from $250k to $150k.
Hope it doesn't change. |
On the campaign trail, in his speeches Obama says 250K$. In his infomercial Wednesday, He said 200K$, but the next day and since he has been back to saying 250K$.
Joe "The" Biden has said 150K$. I don't know if that is his own belief or if he made a mistake.

This is a common misconception. The $250K amount is for families, and the $150K amount is for single filers. Most people making that much do have a family, so Obama isn't telling the whole truth, but for all practical points and purposes he is telling most of the truth. The percentage of people making $150K by themselves is less than 2% of the country. It might even be less than 1%.

Thanks for clearing that up for me too.
I thought $250k was individual amount - I could live with that, but for family income that's insane.
Let's make it 250k for individuals.

What's your rationale? The percentage of single filers who make over $150,000 is already in the 1% range. And only their income over $150,000 would be included in the higher tax bracket.

Living in So. Cal. There are so many couples who work very hard to live in a good neighborhood. $250k a year is not that much for a decent house, three cars, and three kids?
why would you want to punish them? how are they hurting our society?
Individuals making over $250k - I can understand.

yeah! hurt the ones that work hard.
I'm not crying over it cause we don't make that much money but I do feel bad for those Hard Working people.
$250k a year for family in So. Cal. really is not that much.
If Obama really wants to change, then let's have flat tax! Tax everyone who makes over $30k a year.
