The rich continue to live well no matter what. The Democrats with a 90% marginal rate in hand sit there smugly believing they've shown the rich "what for" ~ but they haven't.
Democrats are stupid.
That would appear true if one assumed the Democrat's goal was the founder's vision for a free people in a free land with government powers limited by the Constitution.
I observe the Democrats distain for the Constitution. Democrats provide evidence of their distain by their twisting of the Constitution’s words and meaning. Democrats, with support from the progressives, exercise far greater power over the people than the limited government allowed by the Constitution. The fact the Democrats seek additional powers over the people without the amendment process provides further evidence of their disdain for America’s Constitution.
The progressives are not the ignorant ones. The ignorant ones are the liberals who serve as the progressive’s useful idiots
Never underestimate the power of ignorant people in large groups.
The Democrats, especially the limousine liberals, are hostile toward any upward social mobility. The Dem view is that the serfs need to know their place, and stay their.
