Allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire will increase the tax burden of a $250,000 household by a whopping $410 a day.
The horror! I can see it now. Rich people existing like mole people in shacks made from the shells of their stripped-down Hummers. Surviving on grubs and the paltry meat from their designer pets.
Wait.
Correction.
The increased tax burden isn't $410 a day. It's $4.10 a day.
Four dollars and ten cents. Per day.
Let me start again.
The horror! I can see it now. Rich people surviving like they always have, but without an extra $4.10 a day, which is the equivalent of having to turn off the heater in their pools for the total length of time it took you to read this blog post.
