The median household income in this country is about 50 grand a year. If your family makes that much, about half the households in the country make more, about half less.

$250K is five times the median household income. Five times.

And they can't afford the crushing tax burden? You're breaking my heart, citizen.

You know, if these corporals of industry were providing us with a thriving economy, I might be grudgingly persuaded in sending a bit more in the way of rewards their way. But while the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, the middle class asymptotically diminishes, and the stock market, corporate profits and executive salaries and bonuses rise while real worker income continues to decline, it is pretty clear the suits are simply not doing their job.

Management productivity has gone down while worker productivity continues to climb to new heights. It's pretty clear the free market is not working as advertised. The guys who want the big tax cuts are just not working out.
