They would probably answer, “yes,” and then you have lost the argument. They believe the economy is a zero-sum game—if someone is making $500,000/yr, others are suffering to the equivalent of that $500,000. False. They believe that successful people are successful because they trample on others to get that way. That would be called stealing, which is what the government does. Most successful people enrich the lives of others around them, the lives of the people who buy their products and services, and the lives of employees who work for them.
These two ding a lings used a common tactic and that to answer a question with a question in an attempt to avoid answering and to put Hannity on the defensive.
Hannity was more patient than I would have been.
It seemed these two had ADD or were purposely being evasive and avoiding giving a direct answer and were dumber than dirt.
If they answered “Yes” then you tell them that it would be impossible for that musician/group to tour and do live performances as they would not have the financial means to do so, nor would they be able to reinvest money into creating further artwork/movies, etc...
Nor would people have money left over to expand their businesses and hire people or purchase houses, cars, etc..and the economy would collapse within a matter of months.
