I hope you're not implying that a wealth tax would be fairer.

Not at all.

I was simply making a distinction between earned income and wealth. They are very different concepts that the leftists confuse whenever it suits their purposes.

Obama makes it sound like income is never earned. To Obama, the guy working 30 hours at a part time, low skill, low effort job should have the same income as a person working 80+ hours a week starting a new company (and hiring new employees).

He feels the same way about wealth, which is the income you've managed to save after all of the taxes! But, a wealth tax has historically been seen as very un-American and hard to implement, which is why I bristled a bit. He'd do it if he could, though.
