Why is this even news?

"SPEADING THE WEALTH AROUND"--is just what socialists do!!

Just like fish swim, horses run, and spiders bite,,,
IT IS WHAT THEY DO!!

They do not CREATE new wealth--- they just spread it around.

THAT is what McCain should have said last night.

Meh. There seems to be a meme at play that if you have a “salt of the earth” type “regular good ol’ boy” sort of trade occupation, then you by definition are non-elitist, firmly middle class, need a break, etc.

Well, if you earn $250K, yeah, you’re well off. I don’t care what you do for a living, that’s a far sight more than most people earn (and certainly not average for plumbers around here). Median income in the country is nowhere near $250K.

Not that there’s anything WRONG earning a lot, mind, but this intentional conflating of the different shades of class difference and the “elitist” thing is just annoying. Identity politics FTW!

2%

Joe is among the 2% of small businesses that manage to make $250,000.

Joe, congrats. You’ve made it to the top TWO PERCENT of small businessess. STFU already.

Can we stop now and get to real Conservative topics?
