I think Obama is just working up for a bigger tax hike later down the road.
he realizes he is in that tax bracket and likes his money to himself. He also realizes that the voice about taxing the rich even more is a small but loud minority. Good for him. Let’s hope he doesn’t ever touch this and realizes how dumb taxing the rich even more is. He does want to be elected again in 4 years and taxing the rich is not the way to get this economy back on track.
