Even the headline says “Punish savers.”
Big, useless, wasteful spending got us into this mess. Punishing the savers is foolish.

The rich will just write-off or otherwise dodge this tax through a loophole and continue not spending money. That’s why they’re rich, and we’re not. Because they spend less than they make.
Greed, pure and simple got us into this monumental cock-up, the Great Financial Cock-Up of the 21st Century (otherwise known as Depression 2.0)
