It’s exactly why I vote republican. I understand the difference between wealth and income.

You vote Republican because you likely have as little understanding of politics as demonstrated by this thread in which you drummed up a publicity stunt bill proposal to defend a ivy league blue collar cosplay wanker who in office has done nothing but stand up for industry and rich people.

You're acting as you always do: as an unpaid advocate for people who if you were on fire wouldn't piss on you to put it out.

I understand the difference between wealth and income. I also understand that one yields the other with no sweat from the wealth holder.

That's a large part of why they're able to get away with paying so little tax, and they can even just use their wealth to borrow sums of money from banks at lower than thou interest rates and look like paupers, income wise, on paper.

Then thanks to you and others like you they eliminate things like the estate tax (oh no I'm sorry, the death tax is what you know it as) so they can pass that wealth onwards to create generation after generation of people who never have to do an honest days work in their life.

PS: you keep using the word myth, it doesn't mean what you think it means
