Flawless Logic

First President Obama announced he was going to raise taxes on everyone making over $200,000 – then he fell victim to logic; Senator Charles Schumer did the math, looked at the numbers and to Schumer the message was clear: There are a lot more people making over $200,000 than there are people making over $1 million – so Schumer announced that folks making $200,000 aren’t rich, not by a long shot.
 
Schumer’s next step was even simpler: He amended Obama’s plan to only take taxes out of the hides of millionaires (to the tune of $50,000 per millionaire). The President recognized genius when he saw it. He could collect the same amount of tax money and make fewer people mad. So all that was left was for the President to say, Amen.
