Its important because many in the democratic party want income limits...they have for years. This is not new though the cut off number seems to be dropping. We are just hearing more voices these days because the far left is speaking loudest and has the most power now. Thats also why its dangerous...because they can advance their agenda.
Mark my words...taxes will be raised as soon as we are out of this recession and people making 150K and over are going to get slaughtered if the current democrats have their way.
Way to encourage mediocrity. $ Drives people to take risks, go into temporary debt, get loans in the promise of success, start businesses, work harder, be innovative, etc.
