>> so folks will forget it’s an income, not an asset, tax.
So why don’t we confiscate the wealth of Barb Streisand, Alec Baldwin, Rosie, Oprah, et al ?
If rich is bad.......then what am I missing?
Why do they get a pass?
Are you home yet?
Oh Rav, NO, NO, NO, barbie streisand, alexy baldwin et al, get to keep theirs, just as the leaders in the USSR had their own dachas, ate western goodies, shopped in the best western shops, took the best the ussr had to offer and let the peaons scrape by. After all, barbie, alexy and their buddies are important and don’t have to put up with what the great unwashed must.
In my lifetime I’ve watched American leaders go from encouraging the populace to be independent, strive to better themselves, help their fellow man, encourage the young, to “here let the government provide all your needs, just keep ME in power with your vote.” I watched Oprah, when she “visited” the victims of Katrina in Houston. She hugged one of the “clean” workers, but when one of the victims walked toward her with outstretched arms, for a hug, she put her hands up, stopped and would not hug the victim. She was there for a photo op, only.
