Explain to me how a tax that only taxed investment income of people making more than $250k could directly affect anyone but people with investment income making more than $250k? That is not superstition! Your refusal to acknowledge a simple statement, obvious to nearly all, is astounding to me. That you not only don't grasp this, but insult me for pointing out something obvious, is also astounding. I merely said if 2 + 2 = 4, then 2 + 2 = 4.

So go ahead, give me a class of people outside of my statement that are directly affected by this tax or lack thereof, and I will apologize and amend my conclusion. If you can't do so and apologize, I will accept it and move on. If you are silent, I will know you are just intent on insulting me.
