When government 'asks' 'the rich' to 'contribute more'

I see in the paycheck I received yesterday that my taxes went up a good $90 or more per month; I expect that yours did similarly.

I wonder when people will ever realize that *they* are "the rich" whom the Democrats and leftists have targeted?


Edit 2013/01/13:
It's one thing for those of us who warned about what was coming down the pike (*) to complain because we now have notably less money left us per month with which to meet our expenses; it’s quite another thing for the fools who vote for Democrats to be bitching – “But, but, but! It was supposed to be someone else who is ‘asked’ to ‘contribute’ more, not me!”.

(*) and this is only the beginning.
