   I remember when Bernie Sanders railed against millionaires. I also remember when, after he got his third house and accumulated millions in assets, he changed his tune and now rails against billionaires. Can’t wait until he makes his first billion and switches his demonization to trillionaires.

     It’s kind of impressive how the wealthy have convinced people that “pro-business” is the same as “don’t tax millionaires,” and that taxing millionaires is in opposition to business. These things are not related! But they’re a rhetorical bundle in politics.
