Boehner's claim that raising taxes on incomes over $250,000 would "destroy small businesses."

3. But teachers and firemen make too much money

and need to give up more benefits and pension $. These two ideas do not compute. Most people in America would be only too happy to earn that much a year. The avg family is lucky to see $50,000 a year to live off of.

I think most people would be happy to pay a little bit more in taxes if they were lucky enough to earn that much as a total per year... Especially, if they had been on the other side of the curve earning way less. Really, minimum wage is like $14,000 a year or some such nonsense.

Most people would think making $100,000 or more should pay more in taxes incrementally until the billionaires were really paying their fair share. And after this election where we saw the millionaires literally throw millions away on a worthless candidate, they clearly have more than enough to pay into the treasury to reduce our taxes!!!!
