The reason it's viewed as selfishness; All that is being proposed is that the amount of taxible income you make over $250K to be taxed at a rate 3% higher than it is now. And the money isn't 'earmarked' for the bros in the hood. It's to get our country back on track, paying down the national debt and stimulating the economy, by helping with energy independance and infrastructure projects. For those that are so thick headed that they are freakin' blind, deaf and dumb, that means stuff like windmills, solar farms and roads. If you do not make $250K a year or more you are barking for nothing...
Because that number has already trickled down and he has not even taken office yet. It STARTED at $250,000 than went to $225K, than $200, now he say $150K. What will it really be? And as Bjorn said, it applies to businesses to. We are already taxed to death. With all the different taxes that exist, I am willing to bet we pay close to 50% of what we make back out in taxes.
