I'm occasionally wrong, I'm not a hypocrite. I have said here many many times that (1) I like Tucker Carlson, and that (2) he criticizes republicans all the time.
So you couldn't just say it's a balanced and thoughtful and serious piece, you had to use iy as a club against me and detbuch. Whatever.
"After all people with money deserve it"
I think that's usually true, not in the case of thieves, not even in the case of those who legally exploit others, though I think that's rare (not rare enough).
I am starting to reconsider whether dividends and capital gains should be taxed SO MUCH lower than ordinary income. I think it should be lower because of the risk, but it should probably start being more progressive. Anyone who gets capital gains or dividends in excess of 5 million a year, should not be paying a lower effective rate than a couple making 100k. At least, not a lower effective rate on the top end of their earnings.
Pete, how come you couldn't just say "that was a fair and thoughtful and intellectually serious article"? Would that have killed you?
