Who’s Wealthy?
Who did Sen. David Vitter think he was talking to when he said that:
“I hate to tell you, by Washington’s definitions that [Melancon]‘s using, virtually everybody in this audience is the wealthy.”
I don’t make $250,000 per year. Do you? Most people in Louisiana, the state Vitter represents in the Senate, sure don’t make that much—the average household income there is $43,635.
No, Vitter was following the Republican playbook here—trying to scare working people into protecting the interests of the wealthiest. Trying to make sure multimillionaires get to pay a lower tax rate than middle class families.
Or, you know, maybe he really does think this is true. As Arjun Jaikumar suggested on Twitter, maybe the issue is that everyone Vitter knows makes more than $250,000 per year. And maybe they’re the only ones he cares to represent.
