There simply isn’t enough money above $400,000 income to implement the kind of social programs that the left envisions. People who make that kind of money tend to get their income using various tax-deferral vehicles (e.g. stock), and they’re able to effectively nullify gains with very creative tax write-offs and shelters. Which is why the left ultimately ALWAYS goes down the food chain to people who are captives of payroll systems.
We think the country is its people.
They think the country is its government.
That pretty much explains everything.
