The article didn't even go very far to defend rich people or their wealth, merely arguing that it's not bad for people to obey existing laws that permit them to defer paying taxes on unrealized capital gains, and possibly also not bad for them to obey existing laws that permit them to give unrealized capital gains to charity instead of being taxed on them.
- mirkules 5y agoI wholeheartedly agree. But the reddit hypersensitive and hyperbolic mentality is seeping out of reddit - any mention that even suggests that contrary belief is wrong or misguided is met with a strong response that discourages further discussion on the matter. Cancel culture, in short. I’ve been seeing it creep into HN for quite some time, although it’s more civil here.
