up the difference. they should pay more. listen. >> what we're asking is that not millionaires, not billionaires, but people who made more than a million dollars a year, pay a tax on money they make over a million dollars. this is 3.25% tax on people who make more than a million dollars. we don't tax the first million. martha: so reid's also saying that democrats want to extend the tax cut for the middle class. for some context on all of this, the social security tax cut was part of last year's tax agreement that also extended the bush-era tax cuts, right? without the extension, about 160 million americans, middle class americans, will see their taxes pop up come january when they start to get their paychecks. for a family earning $50,000 a year that will amount to a tax increase of about $1,000. so that is a nice piece of change. ouch, right? bill: now to the trail and the big headline of the day.
