From day 1, Obama said 250k for families, 200k for individuals... so I'm not quite sure why this is even in question... oh, becuase it's "CNSNews" .

Correct. It's not news and it's not a departure from what OBlah..Blah..BlahBama stated, previously.

But you have people like Sunny D in here talking out of their asses and simply spewing partisan-based, inaccurate, downwright fictional nonsense; in a mindless attempt to pump up their Republican party and distract from their hypocritical, xenophobic, bigoted and hateful disposition.

Funny. This just crossed my mind.

Sunny D the poster, here. Is exactly like Sunny D the faux "orange juice " drink.

Yellow. Cold and plastic. And when you read the details (the ingredients), you realize with certainty, there's nothing real in it. All artificial crap.

The numbers has change several times during the election bur that beside the point.
My friend, and all of you that make less than $200,000 myself including. If these people and businesses making over 200 k will pay more taxes what do you think will happen to us????
Don't you think we will end up paying more for services,and for goods. Don't you think that small business who are barely making it now will cut even more jobs? and raise prices.
Every time he has a move against the "Fat Cats" (excluding the ones working for him), little old us pay the bill.
He is using class warfare and has no understanding of how business works. Not is fault he never had a chance to run a business, a city, or a state before we elected him to run the biggest economy and army. It's our fault for giving him the chance.

Anyway increasing the taxes on the wealthy back in 1993 had such a horrid impact on the economy didn't it. Oh wait......

That is teh problem in the end. What does business and investros do when face with such a problem. Business does just waht it has done to cut the bottom line;get rid of teh massive burden of employees. Small business will do this on the healthcare bill if passed. Investors wil look at the risk verus reward. When taxed more that redcues reward they will look at less risky investments that will return the same end results.The same thing also means lessor returns for such things as retiremnt systems and millions of IRAs and other investments by small account americans.

Why does this not surprise me? Democrats want our money, leaving us with nothing. Republicans want us to make and save our money and don't try to take anything away from us.

Bottom line:

Republican party = giveth.

Democratic party = taketh away.

As far as Obama's claim on taxes, its been pretty clear since the start. He will repeal the Bush tax cuts on the top two brackets, $250,000 on couples, $200,000 for singles
Yes, and Bush's tax cuts on the top helped the job creators create jobs. The "rich" create jobs. Obama's decision to let these cuts expire caters to populist appeal.

Your beloved Clinton had a job-creation record that was unprecedented, true. But that was because of REAGAN'S deep tax cuts in the 1980s that re-energized America's economic engine.
