不平等的时代

这么倾向性明显的纪录片我一般是不喜欢的，但是很多观点大快人心。

右派论调：You call them the rich, I call them job creators. How can we keep the economy growing while raising tax on job creators?

左派公司CEO回复：When somebody calls themselves job creators, they are not describing the economy, or how the economy works, although it sounds like so. What they’re really doing is making a claim on status, privilege and power.

在这边工作觉得最不公平的就是税收制度了，capital gain和carried interest 最高税率15%，而普通人的收入税基本是30%。C-suite和capital market investors交的税率远低于工薪，更别提庞大的税收基数。可惜富人的蛋糕太大，怎么也动不了，人们只能把火撒在移民和外国企业身上。但凡capital gain税率提高一点，都可以解决多少教育和医疗问题。

When you give the rich business people tax breaks in the name of job creation, all that really happens is that the fat cats get fatter.
