Ted, the fact that the government tilts things against the wealthy in general (while helping out some specific politically connected rich special interests), is simple objective fact.
Look at the tax rates, look at EITC, look at the way benefits are cut out. All the rules the government has are either neutral as far as income, or set up to favor those with lower income.
If I'm delusional, you should have some arguments that actually address those points, but you don't, so you bring up disparities of wealth as if those where the same thing as unfair bias for the rich by the government, but one group doing much better than an another doesn't indicate any such bias.
You see that one side is running up the score, and use that to argue the playing field is tilted for them, or the refs are biased towards them but the fact is those that are winning are winning because they are better at earning money. They are so much better at "the game", that they "win" even with the refs biased in the other direction. And by winning themselves, they create wealth and opportunity for others. |
