"a rising tide lifts all boats" (once used to justify the high incomes and tax breaks for the Super-Rich)---

Looks like either some folks don't even have a "boat" to be lifted, or they're in a completely separate ocean, or both, eh?
I have nothing against anyone being Rich as long as they didn't shaft people to get there, and as long as they don't demonize or degrade poor folks, and as long as they act with integrity and compassion. Not all Rich people are jerks or criminals; but some, based on their words & actions, certainly appear to be. Trump immediately comes to mind. :)
p.s. For any new readers here, I'm not a Republican or a Democrat. In my intemperate youth, was a Conservative Republican until both were hijacked; then a bit later, a Libertarian (a few good concepts there, but too much belief in Corporatism). Now, and for awhile, strictly Independent, often even apolitical. There's way too much dogma and corruption across the entire political spectrum, almost completely closed-minded. It's no wonder they rarely get anything worthwhile done.
