False dilemma

What’s the Higher Priority for Leftists, Raising Revenue or Punishing Success?

Can't they do both?

It's no contest, anyway. Who gives a shat about revenue? Certainly not Leftists. Bill, Hillary, Obama, Harry, Elizabeth and all their corporatist friends (and yes, anonymous, all their Republican hangers on, too) all have revenue by the boatloads. It's all the people who vote for them, and the rest of us, who have to worry about something so plebeian. Maximizing total revenue is an inferior good for these people, because it would upset the whole system.
