An ambitious Plan. They have been busy, haven't they. I like what I see but let's see what is ultimately enacted.

Unfortunately, the ending of the tax cuts for the "very wealthy" are those people who earn 250K a year and more. There's quite a bit of difference between those who make 250K and 5 million. We have 2 sets of friends who own small businesses and probably net just about 250 - 260/year. These people often work 18 hour days. They are in fear of their businesses going under if Obama keeps considering them the "very wealthy". The first thing they say they will have to do is fire the few people who work for them. Last figure I saw was that small businesses employ 90% of the people in the US. I guess we'll see.

I heard Barney Frank say we need to cut our military budget by 25%. And this isn't going to affect jobs??
You all got me thinking.......good discussion......anyway, what on earth would I even do with $20K monthly?

Without blabbing on (too late), I think the phrase - to whom much is given, much is expected, holds true. We certainly are not "the wealthy" but we know many people who are, and I can't think of one who doesn't give back in many ways. Their giving puts me to shame. At the same time, I don't begrudge them their income. It's a mixture of hard work, luck and being in the right place at the right time. I just think you get much better results from people doing things out of their own desires, than forcing it out of them.
