An income tax is not the same as a wealth tax.

Income is for workers, and an income tax is a tax on the acquisition of wealth.

A wealth tax is a tax on current assets.

Now do you expect that those “wealthy democRAT donors” are going to support a wealth tax, or a raise in income taxes.

The true goal of an income tax is to inhibit the ability to acquire wealth, not to redistribute wealth from those who already have it.

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.
