Maria Bartiromo anchor of CNBC's "Closing Bell with Maria Bartiromo" just recently showed which side she is going to take in this years upcoming election! She recently was quoted in a magazine discussing the "lives of Manhattan's affluent and socially powerful." Maria Bartiromo warns readers that under Senator Barack Obama that "income tax is... in for a bump. Right now income tax is 35 percent, Obama wants to take that to 39 percent…We’re talking about people who make over $200,000. That’s not rich. So it’s actually going to impact more people than you may think." OK with the economy the way it is today $200, 000 may not make you rich, but it definitely means you are living pretty comfortable! ThinkProgress brought up a very good point when they said that the McCain campaign has a bad perception of what average Americans really make in this country! According to the 2006 census, if you had an income of $174,012 you were in the top five percent of income earners! What Maria Bartiromo didn't mention is that she makes a seven figure salary, and just got another $500,000 for the book she just released titled Use The News. The simplest way I can put it is, if your income or your parents income is anywhere under $100,000 vote for Barack Obama because if you don't this nation will not be the place to be for people like you and me!
