I'm just fascinated by his claims of being a financial professional...because all financial professionals like the idea of higher taxes for their clients...because higher taxes = less disposable income which = less to invest.
What a simplistic, ignorant view.
Very few of my clients add new money based on their income, so your shallow theory doesn't even
apply. This is 401K rollover, inheritance, group and institutional money. In addition to growth, my attention is on tax mitigation --
Income Taxes up? We know what to do! -- so I become even
more valuable in that environment via tax planning and alternative investing.
But
by far, there is much more to life than just my income. If you're stuck on greed alone, that's your burden, not mine. I'd hate to go through life like that.
I know how important it is for you to attack me personally, and that includes what I do for a living. That pleases me, and I'm happy to shove your ignorance down your throat.
