When you actually start doing the math it turns out that you need to tax the plain old rich as well as they super-duper-wealthy. That's what is problematic about rampant special pleading for expansive definitions of "middle class". There was recently an op-ed in the New York Times about this very subject.+ I encourage you to read the comments. Every time the issue is raised you get the same predictable whines about how tough life is on two or three hundred thousand dollars a year. A typical complaint is about how expensive Manhattan apartments are, which is like complaining that it is hard to make ends meet after making the monthly Ferrari payment. + http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/28/opinion/campaign-stops/250000-a-year-is-not-middle-class.html http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/28/opinion/campaign-stops/250...
