That's where I'm coming from - "means testing" is no different from "tax the rich".

I hate to break it to people, but we’ve had a progressive income tax system for quite some time now. It’s now a bolt from the blue that such things exist. Making a broke program slightly less broke by means testing is not taxing the rich. The safety net provided by said program will still provide for them in case their assets are wiped out.
