Obama said “I don't believe that another round of tax breaks for millionaires will bring good jobs to our shores, or pay down our deficit.” But what he actually would do is to increase tax for people who earn $250,000. That’s why I think that he confused millionaires and people who earn $250,000.
You are confused. “millionaires (those with investments of $1 million or more)” and people who earn $250,000 are not the same group of people. If you do survey of people who earn $250,000, I do not believe that you can get 60%以上人也支持给自己加税.
