    That doesn’t change the fact that it still doesn’t affect the super-rich, who are trying to avoid paying their fair share: These people deliberately generate no taxable earned income.

    “The working rich” already pay high taxes, which are now being raised just a little bit more.

    So, when we look at the working population, it ultimately amounts to “robbing Peter to pay Paul.”

      The reforms don’t include a tax on earnings from capital. But that doesn’t mean that they negatively affect the working class. What’s the evidence doe that claim?
