I'd like to have Obama cut the nonsense

a $250,000 limit is nonsense.

Most families in this country are not even close to $250,000 in income.

Median household income in 2009 was $50,000. Only 20.1% of households made over $100,000. Only 3.8% made over $200,000.

Keeping tax cuts up to $250,000 simply provides much bigger benefits to those making over $100,000 than it does to those making under $50,000.

....oppose the tax cuts below the $250,000 without the nonsense about how it impacts those who earn over that amount. The tax brackets apply to everyone.
