If we're looking at a higher top rate, why not hit just the truly 1 percent - the folks who really make millions yearly?

Good thing you are not John Boehner, not that he's going to do any better.

I am reminded of a quote from Sir Winston:

Churchill: Madam, would you sleep with me for five million pounds?
Socialite: My goodness, Mr. Churchill... Well, I suppose... we would have to discuss terms, of course...
Churchill: Would you sleep with me for five pounds?
Socialite: Mr. Churchill, what kind of woman do you think I am?!
Churchill: Madam, we've already established that. Now we are haggling about the price.

As soon as you concede the legitimacy of class warfare, you lose! You are not conservative! The libtards' game is to get us to accept a millionaire's tax, and then to keep redefining "millionaire" downwards.

Taxes should be low and flat. Period.

They've already played the millionaire's tax game once, it's called the income tax. Go back and read the propaganda the media were spewing at the time. It was intended to get money from the millionaires who didn't pay anything and therefore weren't contributing their “fair share”.
