Democrats are increasingly abandoning their biggest talking point on taxes: Families earning more than $250,000 a year are “wealthy” and should pay more.
That figure — $250,000 for a household — has been at the tip of the tongue of so many Democratic candidates and lawmakers in the past few elections that it’s become ingrained in the party’s tax philosophy. But they’ve taken a beating from Republicans and have grown increasingly divided on the issue, since that income level would not only cause tax increases for some small businesses but also hit upper-middle-class suburban voters in swing states.
the folks who are successfully avoiding paying their fair share are not the high-salary crowd, it is the high-net worth crowd. The high wage & salary cohort pays quite a bit.
Your premise of your thread title is stupid given that the tax only applies to people who make MORE than $250k. Thus, whether $250k is or isn't rich doesn't matter as nobody is really talking about increased income taxes on people who make that much.
Then again, what should I expect from someone who can't make up their own opinions and are given them by partisan websites.

Any person making $250,000 per year may not be rich but they are extremely well off. Paying a little more taxes isn't going to hurt them. People like that make in a month what many struggling people make in a year. I'd love to make $20,800 per month and I wouldn't complain about paying higher taxes.
