11/6 Four more years!
\_ Yay! I look forward to 4 more years of doing absolutely nothing.
It's a much better outcome than the alternative, which is 4 years
of regress.
\_ Can't argue with that.
\_ Massachusetts went for Obama even though Mitt Romney was its
Governor. Michigan went for Obama even though Mitt's father was a
two-term Goverrnor there. Wisconsin went for Obama even though
two-term Governor there. Wisconsin went for Obama even though
Paul Ryan was Governor there. New Hampshire went for Obama even
though the Romneys have a large Summer home there!

\_ Obama won handily, the Democrats picked up 3 Senate seats, even
though they had more to defend and 7 seats in The House.
\_ Gov. Jerry Brown and his fellow Democrats are on the cusp of a coveted
supermajority in both the Assembly and Senate, giving them the rare
power to raise taxes without any Republican support.

Let's raise taxes as much as possible until all the rednecks
move out of California!
\_ Raise taxes too much and it won't be the rednecks leaving but the upper middle class.

\_ Hmm, thinking a surtax on pickups and rifle racks might
be targeted well enough.
\_ How rich do you have to be before you stop calling yourself
"upper middle class" and start calling yourself rich? -Poor Ass Millionaire

male oppressor who hasn't been paying his fair share
(i.e. everything you make). -obamarx
\_ You haven't really answered my question here...
\_ It's too subjective for someone else to answer for
you. How much money do you need to live your life
the way you want to? How you want to spend your
time, where you want to live -- you want someone
else to figure out those costs without knowing
your situation and desires? If you're just looking
for a number that is "obviously" rich, you'll
probably find that most of the country considers
everyone who can afford to live in Silicon Valley
"rich" (though our salaries are adjusted for the
local cost of living, so the whole thing feeds
on itself), even those of us working 40-60 hour
weeks with mortgages and retirement nowhere in sight.
That's why these generalizations are seldom
constructive.
\_ You are rich if you can have a lifestyle that you
find luxurious without having to work. -PAM
\_ Do you realize that your answer is neither
universally accepted (ie, there are plenty of
rich people who continue working because they
like it), nor does it provide a quantitative
answer (a number)?
\_ If you work even though you don't have to,
then you are clearly rich. Not having a
quantitative value is a feature not a bug.
\_ And yet we're taxed on absolute dollar
amounts. When they talk about
increasing taxes on "the rich", you do
realize they're not asking "how do you
*feel*?" on your 1040, right? |
