Hmmm, what is rich then??? Lets look at some simple examples on some income levels:

Example 1: "Rich family" makes 480k per year, breaks down to 40k per month. 40k to have taxes taken out, pay the mortgage, pay the bills, pay the car payment, save from. $40,000 per month. Income.

Example 2: Working family making 48k per year, breaks down to 4k per month. 4k to have taxes taken out, pay the mortgage, pay the bills, pay the car payment, save from. $4,000 per month. Income.

Example 3: Working single mother making 24k per year at Walmart, breaks down to 2k per month. 2k to have taxes taken out, pay the rent or mortgage, pay the bills, pay the car payment, save from. $2,000 per month. Income.

So per month we have 3 examples.

$40,000 per month
$4,000 per month
$2,000 per month

Which of these figures seem TOTALLY OUT OF WACK with the norm in America? Totally out of wack with your life and the life of your family?

How many people do you know can even SPEND $40,000 in 1 month????????????

Raising taxes 3% on family in example 1 making $40,000 in 1 month is unfair to them how??? Please explain to me what sacrifices they will be making????

Meanwhile the people in example 2 and 3 are most likely forced to buy health insurance plans that can be at least $500 or more per month.

Maybe my numbers are off or I just don't get it, but I really do not see the problem in "taxing the rich" to pay for healthcare for the rest of us.
