Off topic, but there are lots of consultants making more than $250,000 annually.

I'm sorry perhaps you didn't connect the dots there. I said worked for Accenture before moving on to Bearinpoint. The point is i know the nature of consulting work - top to bottom. This idea that we have a bunch of consultants blogging on CD forum on daily basis is absurd go tell that to the Sarah Palins

We are certainly lucky to have so many of the top income bracket (so far 15% per the poll) joining us in our little forum, when nationwide the percentage is only 2%.

I had no idea so many "movers and shakers" spend their days here.

For simplicity, we'll just focus on the over-$250,000 group. Those reporting adjusted gross income of more than $250,000 to the IRS are projected to make up 2 percent of households next year, when the new president will take office. Those folks will earn 24.1 percent of all income, and pay 43.6 percent of all personal federal income taxes, the Tax Policy Center figures. Under either Obama or Clinton, they might pay even more.

FactCheck.org: What percentage of the U.S. population makes more than $250,000 per year? (http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/what_percentage_of_the_us_population_makes.html - broken link)

I just saying i dont make that much money but i work for a business that does. If the raise taxes on them there is going to be some firing and i cant afford losing my job at this time no thank you. Obamas tax cuts on me will be nice but i am OK with what i am paying now and i don't want to lose my job so i can just save some a couple hundred dollars money.

I prefer the pay as you go strategy for government spending, even if it means more taxes. I prefer that my retirement investments not be diluted by inflation due to unfunded spending and huge deficits (Middle East wars, etc.).
