These are the people that drank the Kool-Aid! These are the people that believed every word in the campaign, these are the people that fell for it. These are the people who stand to lose a lot of their wealth now, and they see it and they realize it. You know, once you start talking about a wealth tax... If you ever wondered why the rich -- the really, truly rich -- don't care about tax rate increases on the upper brackets it's because many of them have so much wealth, they don't have income anymore. It's not earned income as in salary and wages. It's investment income which is taxed at a capital gains rate of 15, going up to 20%, not the 39.6 that's coming and higher. But you start tacking a wealth tax on (which they have in France and which this administration is thinking about, a wealth tax of 1.8% on your net assets) then you get their attention. rushlimbaugh.com
