Wages have stagnated for decades, not "went up" (sic) as you ungrammatically posit, for only the last 8 (Obama) years.. I guess a defender of crass wealth doesn't have to have good grammar, or know anything about national income trends.

Speaking of double taxation, I see no objection from you to the double taxation of far more working people than your relatively few people with big estates. What I'm talking about is the removal of the federal deduction of state and local taxes, which would hurt far more hard-working people than any estate tax would. In this Republican scheme, working people's income would be taxed by their state, and immediately taxed again by the federal government.
