I think this thread is revealing of who the liberals really are and what they really think. The meme for the past several years has been centered around the class warfare rhetoric of; those who have too much, against those who don't have enough. In this debate, liberals defined those who "had more than they deserve" as being incomes above $250k, and later, Obama would sometimes edge that down to $200k, depending on the crowd. We could be reasonably sure, however, that people making under $200k at least, were 'deserving' of what they earned, and not "millionaires and billionaires" you sought to punish with higher taxation. But much to the surprise of many, we now see that you don't really think $200k is a good point to start considering someone "rich" and it has been articulated in this thread, that might be as low as $100k, or maybe even $80k. Why don't you just be honest and admit, anyone who is making a decent living and not residing in their mom's basement or a tent in some makeshift protest city, is probably "rich" by your definitions? I mean, a $60,000 annual income, that's pretty sweet, isn't it? I'm sure people who make $30k a year would LOVE to be making $60k, but they just haven't won life's lottery yet, they are among the unfortunate. And when you get right down to it, someone who makes $30k a year, well... they have SO much more than someone who's making $14k! Life just ins't fair, that some have more than they need while others suffer!
Not only has this new 'revelation' proven that class warfare is ridiculous, but it also proves you're all a bunch of liars who don't mean or believe a damn thing you say. What you seek, is to brainwash people into accepting your premise, that people who make more than you personally, are making more than they deserve, more than their fair share, and we must punish them for success. Where DOES "the rich" start, and "middle class" end? It was supposed to be as Romney said, between $200-$250k, but now the curtain has been pulled back, and we find, that's not really what you believe at all, the "rich" can actually be people who are making much less. I say BRAVO to the class warriors, this is exactly what THINKING people need to hear and see!
