The highest-income Americans don't need tax-free health insu

Summary

This quote expresses the notion that the wealthiest individuals in society do not require tax benefits like tax-free health insurance, mortgage interest deductions, or deferred taxation on retirement funds. These privileges, often aimed at helping individuals with lower incomes, serve little purpose for those who are already financially secure. The quote questions the fairness and necessity of providing these tax advantages to the rich and implies that redirecting such resources towards those in greater need may be more deserving and equitable.

You will think me cruel, very selfish, but love is always selfish; the more ardent the more selfish. How jealous I am you cannot know.
