Demofks hate skilled people!Believe me, you’re not on welfare. That‘s just something that libs say because they resent people who worked hard, made prudent decisions, developed a valuable skill, made sacrifices to advance in their career. They refuse to give successful people any credit for how they ended up because it implies that unsuccessful people might be responsible for their own lack of success.
That said, it is adding insult to injury when libs say the affluent are on welfare. Do you remember the “success tax” of the 80’s? It impacted responsible people who maxed out their 401k and IRA contributions instead of spending every last cent, and then found themselves with such a nice nest egg that the MRD was more than $150,000.
Thus, in addition to paying a marginal tax rate of 50% on withdrawals, the hard-working, talented, dedicated, responsible people had to pay an ADDITIONAL 15%! And libs have the nerve to say successful, affluent people, who saved for retirement and invested wisely, are on welfare.
