That will probably increase to the top 5% soon since the top 2% will do nothing for the deficit or give them enough to blow.  As for the rich not leaving, it is already happening because they know the increase will come.I would not have a problem with them raising taxes, if I thought it would do a single bit of good but I know like all the times in the past they will just increase spending past whatever they raise. There will be no spending cuts. Never has been, never will be. The proposals put forth by the Dems are promising spending cuts in 10 to 20 years.</blockquote>
