Yeah, but if you tax rich people at high rates, nobody will want to work hard to become rich or start businesses or create or invent. This is precisely why there were no rich people, businesses, or innovation back when the marginal tax rate was much higher for the wealthy.

I feel the need to make the same comment on all of these stories. Because I think the greater context of this is being lost a little bit in the ridiculousness of these scandals. But I’m going to say it again anyway, because it’s really important. The Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals last year.
