Because he has a different category of tax called portfolio income versus the average person working a job has what's called earned income, otherwise known as ordinary income.
And I'm saying this as a licensed attorney who's not your attorney.
So there's different buckets of income.
And the person that's taxed the highest is the person that earns money from labor.
If you work a job, you're paying the highest tax rates and you get the lowest tax breaks.
When you are an investor, you get to qualify for either lower tax rates or higher tax breaks.

I want to see less hungry people.
Well, sometimes raising taxes can solve the problem.
But let's dig a little bit deeper because before we just start increasing our income, and I'm saying this from somebody who has studied a lot of people's financial statements.
We assume that if I make $50,000 a year, if I raise my income to $60,000 a year, my financial problems are going to go away.
If I raise my income to $100,000 a year, my financial problems are gonna be solved and I'm gonna be rich.
The data shows otherwise, that as the average person earns more money, they dig themselves into a deeper financial hole.
That's why the majority, not a general word, statistically, the majority of Americans who make over $100,000 a year are broke, living paycheck to paycheck.
Why?
As they make more money, you become more creditworthy.
The bank says, hey, you have a good job.
