I was reading this story:

President Barack Obama will officially launch the battle over the impending fiscal cliff this morning, announcing a plan to extend the Bush-era tax cuts for people earning under $250,000, while letting the rest of the tax cuts expire.

via Business Insider.

This got me thinking about how much money will really flow into the Treasury from “the rich”?  I remember this from awhile back.

If you have not seen… it’s just plain excellent.
