In the speeches I saw and the reporting I have read, $50,000 was always the number he used. If he changed it to $250,000 that must be a recent change. Guess I will do a search and see. In fact when asked what he thought middle american income was and would be taxed more, the number was $75,000. I know many numbers have been floated, but could you provide the source of the $250,000? I honestly have never heard it from any one in the Obama campaign.
