Good Grief.

You and the right wingers are trying to scare people into thinking that the minute someone makes over 250K the government swoops in and takes all your paycheck.

This is reminding me of two anecdotes from TV interviews of the man on the street:

On Gas prices jumping from 1.50 to 3 per gallons (yep a few years back). Man on street says "I wont be going on vacation this year - gas too high". despite the fact that he was living in Philly and vacationing at the Jersey Shore. 5 gallons of gas tops.

On Bell Atlantic making the 215 code mandatory. Woman on street "I ain't dialling those extra 3 digits, I just wont be calling no more"

The number of stories of idiots threatening to lay off their 6 employees because there would be too much more tax is proliferating. Now you seem to think it is a violation of the American Way and we're about to become the Socialist Republic of America. Get a frigging grip on perspective Tom, you've completely lost it.
