You act surprised....
Well, his comment during the one debate about 'looking around the room I see only X amount of people who would be affected by the tax on 200K and up income' showed his elitism quite well.

You JUST figured this out.....?
Hmmmmm.
Kerry's plan to tax businesses that "make" 200k is a bad idea.
In NY state that would destroy the dairy farmers that still remain.
Here's why: Just because the farm 'makes' 200k doesn't mean they're breaking even.
AFTER the farmer is done paying taxes, buying equipment, medicating and caring for animals, insurance, and cost of shipping where applicable, there isn't a whole lot left over.
You may be 'making' 200k a year, but after cost of operating expensies, you aren't left with a whole heck of a lot to live on.
So in reality, you really aren't 'making' 200k.
But your W2 would say that you are.
