You got 99 problems but higher taxes ain't one

If you are married and make $250,000 your taxes do not go up under Obama's tax proposals.

It is utterly ir-fucking-relevant who makes $250,000. I do not care if you know people in Manhattan who cannot get by on their paltry $250,000 income because their taxes will not go up.

Some dentist with three kids in college makes $250,000. Okay... what the fuck about it? Breaking news!!11!11 OMG!! Some guy whose taxes WILL NOT GO UP.

This is up:

This is not up:

[font size=5]—[/font size]

This is stays the same... is unchanged... unaltered, status quo, stasis.

If you cannot possibly scrape by on $250,000 then I have good news for you... YOUR FUCKING TAXES ARE NOT GOING UP!

Here, let's try this...

If you make $250K I feel bad for you son, you got 99 problems but higher taxes ain't one.

Hit me.

The next time some preposterous fop on CNBC breaks down weeping over the oppressed and desperate state of the quarter-millionaire WHOSE TAXES WILL NOT GO UP I may just burst.

(And if you make $300,000 then your taxes would go up by less than 1%. And if you make $500,000 a year... well then shut the fuck up. Seriously.)

You will be taxed 37% on that one dollar over $250,000 rather than 33%. These cheapskates are all having strokes and fits over a 4% rise in the tax rate over "rich enough to not worry about your next meal, ever,"

That is just childish. Grow up, 2%
