I think not when we are talking about $250k. If you want to go after Billionairs that have money to blow that's one thing, but $250k is not a lot when you live in an area like CA or DC... Obama says that millionairs and billionairs need to pay more, well $250k is not even close to a million IMO.
Come on now, why single out billionaires? Larry Ellison should be able to buy that 200 million dollar yacht. Gas isn't cheap these days and that bad boy costs a boatload to fill up. Those private jets don't pay for themselves either. You know, the sad thing is that due to rising costs and gas prices a lot of wealthy people are losing their yachts these days. It's just not right!
