3) On the other hand, since they're are already hard-working, entrepreneurially spirited individuals, if you do tax them more they'll just work that much harder to make up the difference. It's a win-win situation.

"If you offer".. people that make money have a right to send their kids to private school and have nice car and nice homes. They do not deserve to get taxed more because they are wealthy and enjoy a higher standard of living than most. Take from the rich and give to the poor?? ... I think not when we are talking about $250k. If you want to go after Billionairs that have money to blow that's one thing, but $250k is not a lot when you live in an area like CA or DC... Obama says that millionairs and billionairs need to pay more, well $250k is not even close to a million IMO.
