President Obama, seeking a Republican agreement to raise the nation's $14.3 trillion debt ceiling by Aug 2, will not insist that any deal include an end of President Bush's controversial tax rates on the wealthy.
Obama's tactics are coming into clearer focus: they involve seeking higher taxes not on a broad swath of high income earners but on a narrower band of the super rich, such as owners of private jets. This means that those who earn $250,000 have got a reprieve.

Don't forget Nancy Pelosi - net worth 26 million
How about Barbara Streisand and Opra Winfrey? They should be on the list!!
I thought they'd all be for it, but was surprised to see that the majority of them look at this ban as "nanny-statism".
One of them actually wondered if he's getting conservative in his old age because he's getting tired of these bans on food, etc. and said it's odd that these kinds of bans are nowadays attached to liberals when he always thought they were associated with the right wing LOL.
“will not insist” You don’t get to “INSIST” on anything, SUCKER. We are holding all the cards.
Universal Service Fund = $0.97.= the Algore internet tax.
IIRC, he was the tiebreaker vote
The more the merrier!
Obama ruins everything he touches.
The Al Gore internet tax what a joke!
One of the reasons I despise the GOP is they won’t talk about the rich democrats in congress. Everytime one of them gets in front of a camera he should mention how much obama “earned” last year and how much Pelosi is worth.
I don’t know why they won’t do this. It would never make it past he editing room on any network but FOX. And I’m not sure about that.
Obama is garbage, but if you seriously think these taxes are of 2008 vintage you are mistaken.
No. I don’t. He will make more like them. They are just examples of the bullshit names and purposes of things to come in larger sizes.
Didn't Carter do this to the luxury boat business when he decided large boats needed an extra tax on them?
IIRC the ones that suffered were the boat builders.
And Nancy Pelosi....her net worth went up 66% in 2010...so she must have some spare cash.
Don’t know if you heard Berney Goldberg on Oreilly tonight but I agree with him. The pubs and all conservatives need to call out the demons for every hypocritical comment they make. Racism, class warfare etc.
