From the article:
“In
all fairness, the rich do have ways to mitigate part of their tax burden that
may not be available to the rest of us. For example, AFT president Randi
Weingarten, a long-time class warrior, strongly supported the Tax the Rich Bus
Tour. But Weingarten talks one way and lives another. In reality, she is a
card-carrying member of the dreaded “1 percent” class. Her union’s latest tax
filing shows that she earned over $500,000
in total compensation in 2016. Most hypocritically, she will tell you
that it’s just a coincidence that she abandoned New York City in 2012 for East
Hampton, a very wealthy community on Long Island’s south shore, thus avoiding
paying $30,000 in city income taxes.”
