It happens like this:
1. Democrat proposes raising taxes on the wealthy (income over $1M) to raise $X to help the poor.
2. Number crunchers find that the tax increases only produce 1/4 of $X.
3. Democrats redefine the wealthy as $100k or more.
4. Number crunchers find it only raises 3/4 of $X.
5. Democrats pass “sin” taxes to raise the rest, taxes that are primarily paid by the poor.
Ask any poor person if raising taxes on the rich have helped them in any way.
Answer: NO
But it makes them “feel” better that someone is looking out for them. Complete and utter lemmings.
1. Democrat proposes raising taxes on the wealthy (income over $1M) to raise $X to help the poor.
