dearieme – among others, 25K is *below* the rate that a decent carpenter gets. Or do you think that they are rich bar stewards too?

The very definition of the word “rich” means “few people with lots more money than everyone else”.

Just as socialism uses the perpetual war on poverty (defined relatively so that poor people will always be with us), they have a perpetual war on the rich (defined relatively, so there will always be someone to hate).

The most important aspect separating the socialisms is who to punish.

International Socialism: Business Owners
National Socialism: Jews etc.
Transnational Socialism: Rich White Males

“This is the thing that so many people seem to find it so hard to understand. There really aren’t that many rich people and they really don’t have all that much money.”

You commit the error of assuming the left-wingers want to tax ‘the rich’ because they want the money. They don’t, they just hate ‘the rich’.

Until a left-winger becomes rich (like Al Gore), then they develop a blind spot.
