Do you agree with Pres. Obama that millionaires and billionaires will be paying their "fair share" [View all]

by being taxed at 39.6% on household income over $450,000?

Tonight’s agreement does even more by asking millionaires and billionaires to begin to pay their fair share for the first time in twenty years. As promised, that increase will be immediate, and it will be permanent.

Yes, I agree with President Obama. A 39.6% tax rate on income over $450,000 ensures that millionaires and billionaires will be paying their "fair share".

No, I disagree with President Obama. The top marginal tax rate should be higher than 39.6% for millionaires and billionaires to be paying their "fair share".
