Your not acknowledging that there are different types of income, taxed very favorably for the wealthy.
You also dismiss that life is awesome for the super rich and that we are back in a great Gatsby guilded era. What we used to call robber barons are today bankers, and hedge fund managers. The big difference is that the robber barons of old hired millions of workers. The robber barons today make billions and hire very few, after all it's all paper.
The wages of ordinary americans are being eaten up by inflation. The wages of the super rich are shooting up up and up.
It might be more effective if you made a point and linked to a cite rather than dump a wall of text and expect people to wade through it to find the point your trying to make. Its like you want me to make a point for you.
Capitals gains is 15%
The ACA penalty is 1%
Life is mega good for the Mega rich....
Labor actions for McJobs...How far we have fallen.
