http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-tax-rich-20111009,0,2167342.story

The shift marked a victory for Democrats from parts of the country where the cost of living is high. Families earning $250,000 in their regions, lawmakers argued, look more like middle-class, dual-income worker bees than tony yacht owners.
"They are not rich," said Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.), a leading proponent of the tax on wealthier people. "In large parts of the country, that kind of income does not get you a big home or lots of vacations or anything else that's associated with wealth in America."

I disagree with that.  Living like a rich person and actually being rich are two very different things.  I know you were being sarcastic right?
