People still don't understand net worth/wealth vs income

And the Reddit thread that followed

It makes me cringe seeing people call AoC a hypocrite for her met gala dress
People at the met gala aren't the rich people anyone should be worried about. They have a large yet reasonable amount of money. More to the point, they often pay their taxes
You can aspire not only to have money, but more money than you ever dreamed, and still not be worried at all about high end wealth taxes

Reading through a few comments shows those people are too stupid to realize capitalism lifts standards of living and not just one class but all classes.

A member of congress in a 5 figure tax the rich" dress at a 5 figure per ticket event packed with millionaires isn't hypocrisy according to these smooth brains because these are "the good rich people"

Even ignoring the logical fallacies that net worth=income, I'll bet my bottom dollar than not a single person with an AGI under $400k paid $35k for a ticket to that snob fest.

Ah the stupid. Are most patrons of the Met Gala billionaires, no. Are most patrons filthy rich and have more money than the average person can dream of, abso-fricking-lutely. Tax the rich, but I’m not rich, theses people are the rich - a rich man’s response.

These brain dead leftists:
1) Have never looked at a donor list for their political heroes.
2) Are quite ignorant of our tax code, deductions, credits and who is best positioned to take advantage of them.
3) Are quite ignorant of the economical effects that come with significant tax hikes "on the rich".
4) Talk about $30g as a "reasonable amount of money" to attend a fundraiser but think 400k a year is "the rich".
5) Are not paying attention to who has been laying off employees, struggling to stay in business and even closing their doors during the pandemic and have no clue how destructive these tax hikes would be on them.
6) Are ignoring the fact those billionaires were still getting fatter while black Jesus was in office for 8 years...raising taxes...making the rich pay "their fair share"...and watching the economy stagnate at the same time.
7) Support the same politics as Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Carlos Slim, Sergey Brin, Michael Bloomberg and other billionaires around the world and don't see a hint of irony in their tired, naive, Robin Hood perspective.

Look at these ridiculously high achievers that had big ideas and made them happen! (even if their politics suck)
Now, let's compare them to people so dumb their best option is drying cars at a car wash.

If you buy Amazon stock you can earn money at the same rate Jeff Bezos does.

People either don’t understand the meaning of “slippery slope” or don’t care.
After opening the door to taxing the rich, whether on their income or their wealth, the definition of “rich” can be changed at any time.

Now do number of people employed/income to those people/taxes paid.
Posted on 9/15/21 at 2:44 pm to stout
Hell, people don't realize that taxes on corporations are taxes on everyone.

So we could take all their wealth and not come close to filling the US budget hole…

She is talking about taxing Democrats. Have at it. The large majority of high net worth people are voting Democrat these days.
