Subject: RE: BS: Thanks, GOP. Fiscal Cliff will cost me "$____"
One recent opinion piece offered the argument that $250,000 per year income is really only "middle class" because lots of people need multiple limos for business, and people who earn that much are probably boomers with a couple of kids in college with $60,000 per year tuition (each), and they probably need at least a couple of homes "for business purposes."

Almost made me shed a tear. Maybe the higher tax rate shouldn't start until at least $250,002?
