The "Intentional Left"

When did people/small businesses making $250,000/year become the targets?

All we have heard by the left is the same old phrase: "The rich need to pay their fare share!"  While never saying what a fair share is.  The other belabored phrase is "....millionaires and billionaires..."  Here in lies the question; how does $250k fit the "millionaire, billionaire" context?  Everyone including the administration and Democrats know what we all know the upper end of earned income individuals already pay a highly disproportion of the taxes in the U.S.  So what are we to make of all the rhetoric coming out of the White House and the Democrats? Give it any label you wish.  I would suggest they are very clear about what they are doing and the consequences. More transfer payments to the government (read taxes a.k.a. redistribution) to fund a much larger government, greater dependency on the government and less economic freedom.  Further, you must understand these people truly believe this is good for America!  On the other hand, we have a country full of people that hold close the notion that "what has been will always be".  Not true! Our Republic based on the Constitution, free markets and liberty have always been under attack.  This is nothing new.  What is new is the large number of people that choose to not educate themselves or are apathetic to what is the harsh reality of what is going on.  49% of America is vulnerable to a rude awakening from which they will never recover!
