“Our taxophobia has made the rich vastly richer and reduced the amount of money for the public benefits the rest of us depend on, and a hundred other horrible things besides.”

Do you think he actually believes this patent falsehood?

The rich have gotten richer over the years? NO! How could that be possible? I thought that all rich people worked 40 hours per week and went home and just waited for their vast fortunes to just roll in. They didn't work 80 hour weeks, or provide a product or service that people wanted to buy from them, or pursued higher education in fields like medicine, no sir. It's all just handed to them.

Unless you're an heir to a fortune, like a Kennedy or Rockefeller, or a flat out crook like Bernie Madoff, the vast majority of "rich" people earned their moolah.
