In this case, from the messiah on down to Debbie Whatsername, they all insist that the only thing that will solve our over spending is taxing the rich more. And of course in their world anyone making more then they do, is rich, hence the $200,000 per year income floor. This plan has failed everywhere it’s been tired, even here, but that’s why the liberals love it. They are sure they are smarter then anyone else, so they will make it work.
