Robert Reich is very, very angry about ProPublica’s “bombshell report” on the taxes of the wealthiest people in America.
No, he’s not angry about the IRS leaking people’s personal tax information to ProPublica; he’s angry about “America’s super-wealthy paying little or nothing in taxes.” Which is not even true, but no matter.
All Robert Reich needs to know is that this is “wealth supremacy,” pure and simple:
All we need to know is that Robert Reich is an idiot.

I’m guessing he’s basing this screed on the comically obvious revelation that people, including rich people, don’t pay taxes on unrealized capital gains?

Reich’s entire raison d’être is railing against the wealthy. Or, rather, anyone who’s wealthier than he is. He doesn’t let inconvenient facts get in the way.
“people aren’t mad enough at the mega-rich to want to tax them more”
“what can we do about it?”
“what if we slapped the word ‘supremacy’ on them somehow?” https://t.co/lv0SmTuIRr pic.twitter.com/EPpWWLawmg

Hey, it works for yoga instructors and body activists. So why not?
What was Robert Reich before he was a really dumb Internet troll?
