Don’t you think that is kinda ironic, considering the entire purpose is to tax the rich more where as wealth accumulation by rich(er) people have been more rampant via capital gains versus “wage” income?[/quote]
I guess I just don’t get the bolded part. For the last 3 decades, Republicans have been fighting for just the opposite with their bogus claim that lower taxes on the rich is better because they’re “job creators”. It has become “conventional wisdom” among conservatives and Democrats have been, for the most part, not much better. Either accepting it or fighting weakly against it. It would be ironic if there was any significant movement to tax the rich. There just hasn’t been.
