Now look at the (factual) numbers. Math has a funny way of being non-political. Yep. Makes sense.
First, just a note: I think the correct link to the quote is this:

The assumptions that are made about what numbers to crank through the math don't matter? How about this assumption from the OP: "Let’s assume that all of these households earn pretty much around the $1 million mark (because let’s face it, there are a lot more people earning close to a million than close to a billion)." Nothing iffy about that, huh?
Also, the author pretends that the intent is to pay for the whole jobs bill with one year's increase in taxes on those making a million or more, but the taxes are intended to run for 10 years.
