Strictly speaking I suspect that there's truth in what you say.My having mentioned "taxes" in an earlier post was meant in the broader sense....that being that the Rats think that you and I,but not Soros,have *far* too much and they want to give a good chunk of what we earn,and *have* earned,to "the most vulnerable among us" so that those "vulnerable" ones will vote for *them*.In addition to preventing the likes of *us* becoming "wealthy" they *do* want to redistribute wealth....just not their own.
Oh, no. What they want is to keep working people working. That way the unwashed masses don’t have the resources to “invade and defile” their favorite haunts like Jackson Hole, Martha’s Vineyard, Palm Beach, etc.
If you were to develop the next “pet rock” fad with a finite lifetime, all that you earned would be income subject to a confiscatory tax. Thus, you could never generate enough “income after taxes” to develop real wealth. Even though your new pet rock idea if left untaxed would leave you with the resources to not have to work for the rest of your life and maybe some of your direct descendents as well.
Tax it, and sufficiently high enough, you end up having to work all of your life. Generating more “income tax revenue” and not have the free time or disposable resources to counter their leftist schemes.
