In this video Rep. John Fleming (R-La.) suggests it would be challenging.

In a Monday morning interview on MSNBC, Rep. John Fleming expressed vehement disapproval of President Barack Obama’s deficit reduction plan, which includes measures to raise taxes on the wealthy.

Fleming decried the plan, claiming that it would kill jobs provided by well-to-do “job creators.”

When asked by MSNBC host, Chris Jansing, about his business ventures (including his part in multiple Subway restaurants and UPS stores from which he netted $6.3 million last year) Fleming claimed that his business expenses left him with little to tax “by the time I feed my family.”

Fleming told Jansing that the $6.3 million is “before you pay 500 employees, you pay rent, you pay equipment and food.”

“The actual net income of that was a mere fraction of that amount.”

“By the time I feed my family, I have maybe $400,000 left over,”.

$400,000, we assume excludes his $174,000 salary that he earns as a Representative.
So tell us, could you scrape by on $400,00+ a year? Would raising taxes on people in Fleming’s class be “class warfare?” Do you really believe that Fleming will create jobs with his wealth?
