The rich by inheritance support the Dems because all of their measures prevent the great unwashed from becoming rich enough to join the country clubs and yacht clubs.

Inherited wealth is secreted in trusts, where it cannot be taxed. There is no “inheritance” tax, because a trust never “dies”.

That’s why the truly wealthy don’t mind income taxes. They don’t care if income taxes go to 100%, because they don’t really have any income. They have “capital gains”, and they must pay taxes on that, but compared to the vast preponderance of their wealth, it constitutes chump change.

The increase in payroll taxes and health insurance this year has whacked me for over $400 per month. The super rich and the poor are completely unaffected by it.

Liberal elites are standing on the ladder stomping on the fingers of the middle class a few rungs down... they're quintessential assh*les.

You mean like Rodney Dangerfield's character in Caddyshack. Who wants to be around those snot-nosed brats anyway?

So how'd we get saddled with W and Romney? They should be the Dems' problems.
