Lets see all the people who will never come close following Limbaugh and the rest of the talking heads who all fit that profile. Yeah, they're all folks just like us. Riiight

GRR you miss the importance of that .3%. They are the small business owners who often file their business taxes on personal tax forms..bumping income over the $500K level. They are also the ones who create the bulk of new jobs in this country and employ roughly 70% of Americans. So taxing them at high rates will discourage or take away money that can be use to expand and hire more people.
Bottom line is that hurting those 'rich guys' only hurt the small guy by putting him out of a job or stopping the creation some new jobs.
