The $250,000 that Obama likes to cite as rich based on the highest tax bracket during the Clinton years, fails to take into account inflation. To compare apples-to-apples, the equivalent amount today is $400,000.

Now that is mind boggling. He has been on graft since he was on the Nevada Gaming Comission.| Permalink

- 2Posted by edithwh07 13 years, 3 months agoMost people I know who make $250k and more work very hard. They are business owners, executives, entrepreneurs, investors. These are not people flitting around in Vegas, partying etc. Punishing people for pursuing opportunities sends out an absolutely absurd message| Permalink
