Inequality

I hate discussions about inequality because they are so useless. All that anybody ever says about the issue is, “Tax somebody who isn’t me.” And then there is a bunch of very silly arithmetic exercises to carve out that somebody so that it doesn’t touch me and leaves me feeling self-righteous.

47%, 1%, 10% of imaginary evildoers who just have to be taxed to make everything magically right are simply a fantasy that many people mistake for political convictions.
