Real power and connections probably doesn’t have much to do with 250k household or even single earners at that rate. Getting up above that and especially into the stratosphere, I think wealth aquistion can but not always does comes unhinged from hard work and merit and attached to connections, power brokering and deal making, some honest and some at least quasi- corrupt. These people also would be adept at getting tax advantages by law and loophole, Coinkdinky?
I hope there is someplace I could have pulled this from beside my ass. No I don’t have lots of data.
To be “fair and balanced”, on the other hand everyone who makes small change to 250k doesn’t earn it either. But at least we have a chance of helping the fed fulfill its mandate of full employment and getting enough to eat for breeding foot soldiers for the creme.Some of us vote, helping to perpetuate the myth of democracy.That should be worth something.
