Comment on New York real estate titan likens the phrase ‘tax the rich’ to racial slurs

That’s pretty funny because the phrase doesn’t actually have a negative meaning. It’s a policy proposal at face value and at depth and that’s it. Doesn’t say the rich or bad people, although many of them are, doesn’t say that nobody should be rich, doesn’t even say how much they should be taxed.
And certainly nobody should be thanking the top 1%. We all know that they got there by lying and cheating and stealing and inheriting wealth.
