There are so many things this guy can do, but raising income taxes, on money people work for is flat out stupid. Lower income taxes, create a flat tax, close loopholes so these rich people have to pay, and heck create a small national sales tax, that will again target people who spend money (aka those terrible "rich" people). 250,000 a year is not rich. Heck, 250,000 on the coasts is middle class. Why should American people have to pay more money and give more hard earned money to a government who blows this money on waste, corruption, greed, and red tape? Anything the government touches turns to crap. Stop all the stupid spending on all these entitlements. Entitlement societies don't work, ask Greece and plenty of other countries.
