“We aren’t talking about taking from the rich to feed the poor. We’re talking about compelling the super-rich to pay their fair share.”
Sheesh...
The big surprise comes when how many of us find out we’re considered ‘super rich’.
Even the marginally engaged couch potatoes whom this so reasonable-sounding essay is aimed at should be able to recognize the usual ‘we’ll only tax the other guy’ lie.
All they talk about is “fair share” but never define it. OK, let’s play the game. First, define fair share. Second, apply it to everybody, including the liars, thieves and perverts in Congress. Next, apply it to wealth as well as income. Last, REDUCE taxes because the super rich are already paying more than their fair share.
