redefine the term "rich" for purposes of taxation.

With the upcoming budget and previous statements by this administration on taxation, we believe that the definition of a "rich" family of $250,000 a year is out of touch in todays economic environment . Additionally it is inconsistent with their own definition of a "rich" individual which they claim is $200,000 a year. By past examples of 2 income earners for decades the definition of combined income has always been twice that of the individual. i.e in this case it should be $400,000 per family per year. By lowering it to $250,000 they are unduly penalizing the 2 income professional families (who already pay lions share of taxes)and may even be unconsitutional by past precedents on taxation. We would petition that the definition of "rich" families as $400,000 or greater per year.
