I think that it is only fair that these people have a higher rate of tax as their income goes higher especially given the crisis we are facing.
I would be in favor of a higher starting point than 250000 since it really isn't that much many places. 350,000 would be my vote, but again I would defer to economists who know a heck of alot more about what drives the economy.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.
