奥巴马避财政悬崖新方案:对收入超过40万美元,而不是25万美元, 的家庭提高税收。
I wish that they could set cutoff at $500,000. But $400,000 is still much better than $250,000. Good news. Now let's hope they get a deal.
New York Times
WASHINGTON — President Obama delivered to Speaker John A. Boehner a new offer on Monday to resolve the pending fiscal crisis, a deal that would raise revenues by $1.2 trillion over the next decade but keep in place the Bush-era tax rates for any household with earnings below $400,000.

But Obama wants to push that threshold down to $400,000, a significant adjustment to his campaign pledge to raise taxes on income over $250,000, or about 3 million households.
