Capital gains are the largest driver in income inequality.

All your attempts to obfuscate do nothing to change the established fact that income inequality is 1) real 2) getting worse, and 3) creating a real problem.

You don't believe your own bullshit, you just believe that it's important to try and sell your bullshit to others.

WE ARE NOT BUYING IT.
