The Supreme Court is taking up a case over a Washington couple’s $15,000 tax bill that is widely seen as a test of a never-enacted tax on wealth. Arguments are being heard Tuesday.
Like, what the fuck. Is it not written on the wall for you all already? Middle class does not exist. If you have less than $500k in income and less than $1.5M in the bank, you are poor.
As fuck

We need a maximum level of wealth at which your assets just freeze and no one lets you have any more stuff. Or something. Or guillotines. Idk. Id prefer the former, but we’ll see how this whole “free market” experiment ends up soon enough.

If you live in NYC, this may be true! But not for the overwhelming majority of this country, or the world for that matter.
Source? Me. I have far less than $1.5m in assets, not just cash in the bank, and I make far, far less than $500k/year. I do fine. Own my own home, even.

We are all far more alike than we are anything like them.
