1. I'm far, far, from being able to call myself rich,
but I'm at least in the "have something" category, if not quite in the "have or have more" categories. I'm sure my taxes will go up under the Democrats. Quite honestly, they need to.

I added it all up, and among interest, dividends, and capital gains, I made nearly eight times what I made in an average working year.

I paid about a third the taxes I did in a working year, partially due to high medical expenses. Without those expenses, my taxes would likely have been about a third less than those I paid when I was working.

This is wrong. This is so wrong.
