On: Warren Buffett: Stop coddling the super rich

Agree completely. I think the problem is that $250K is around that "top 1%" mark. It's a convenient demarcation line and makes for a smooth soundbite.

What many don't get is that the bottom of the top 1% includes doctors, attorneys, and entrepreneurs.

Why do the professions of those at the bottom of the top 1% matter?

Because they're not making money from investments—therefore they're not really getting tax breaks.

Ah yes, good point.
