very true.. the best to tell whether someone is wealthy or not is simply ask them their views on taxes for the rich. it's a 99% accurate method

Not really. The super rich are typically for more taxes because they got theirs and they're not worried about falling back into the middle class. They're more worried about poorer people getting angry and taking what they have, so they mouth platitudes about bigger safety nets and planetary conservation while flying about in private jets to environmental conferences.

So what you're saying is that you agree with me.
