Former Bill Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich is now a professor and “income inequality” lecturer who would like to increase taxes on people who make lots of money but produce nothing of value (according to the Left) and he really tripped all over himself with this take:
A growing sector of the US economy produces nothing of value. Corporate law. Wall street. Private equity. Hedge funds. The only things this “zero-sum” sector produces are more ultra-rich people.
Why not heavily tax zero-sum work while subsidizing work that generates social good?

Really?
Somebody hand that guy a mirror!
What do you produce, Robert?

What exactly do you create of value?

Reich no doubt thinks his income inequality hot takes are the epitome of value and absolutely priceless.
Add Berkley professors to your list.

It’s not clear to me that Robert Reich produced anything of value. https://t.co/DCk2JAtrpQ
