Talk of New York's ‘millionaires’ tax’ expands to not-so-rich

The Buffalo News reports:
Just how much money does it take to be rich in this state?

What started as a debate over whether to hit the wealthy with higher income taxes to help balance the state budget has expanded to talk of a “millionaires’ tax” on households with annual incomes exceeding $250,000.

That means a tax plan originally focused on 36,000 of the state’s wealthiest residents would extend to nearly 300,000 additional households, according to 2006 state tax figures, the most recent available.
Stealing through majority voting.All because some overpaid government workers want to turn New York's private sector into slaves.
