And even then the 3.8% tax was only on their capital gains, i.e. stock dividends. It gives you an indication of how much of this countries wealth is controlled by so few people when a quite small tax on just the capital gains of those making more than $200,000 can generate enough revenue to completely pay for the subsidies that allow tens of millions of Americans to finally be able to afford to buy health insurance. It was those taxes that caused all the angst and propaganda against the ACA and in this rapid rush to replace the ACA with a plan that would ensure 25 Million fewer people that agenda was exposed. Why mainstream media was so averse to pointing out where all the anti ACA propaganda and disinformation was being generated until this bill was aborted is another of life mysteries.
