Is it soon time to tax the rich celebrities and Obama supporters?

Tom S asked:


Obama wants to tax the rich. Let’s hope he starts delivering whopping tax bills to people like Oprah Winfrey, Bruce Springsteen, Barbra Streisand, Warren Buffett and other rich celebrities, CEOs and executives.

It’s time these rich idiots put their money where their mouth is and reach deeply into their pockets and start paying into the welfare programs that we have and will soon expand.

Let’s hope this is one promise Obama keeps.

Loaf of Bread will now be $9.95 asked:


I have seen a lot of back and forth regarding the definition of rich

What would you define as being rich?

Do you take geographical location into consideration when you decide what to classify as rich? Or do you utilize a one-size-fits all approach?

@Nikki, I agree with your stance, but I am talking strictly salary in terms of taxation.
