Democrats: a bunch of rich people convincing poor people to vote for rich people (who pretend they aren’t rich, but hate rich people who are all evil Republicans.)
Socialism is a wealth preserver. Taxing the rich is taxing income which is productive capital whereas those with huge trust funds or wealth have a myriad of tax loopholes to preserve their wealth. You can sit with a bank account of 100 million and simply pay little tax.
The biggest scam for the rich are charitable foundations. They can raise all kinds of money and only have to donate 5% to their cause. You can employ your kids, relatives and even yourself, pay yourself a nice salary and the foundation pays the taxes. All of your contributions are tax deductible.
Us working stiffs get taxed all the way up the ladder. The more you make, the more they take. FICA at least cuts off at 105 or something like that. It goes up every year.
