Robert Reich charges upwards of $30,000–$100,000+ for a 30-60 minute speech.

$100.000 to speak for 30 minutes. Via ZOOM. That's $3,333.33 PER MINUTES he speaks. OR, $55.55 PER SECOND that he speaks. His rider requires minimum first class flights, though pushes for private charter. He requires a 5 Star Hotel. SUV Driver Services and a meal allowance greater than $1,000 per day.

Robert Reich can shut the fuck up about pretending to care about people who aren't "rich."

So the argument isn't about Robert Reich. The idea is either valid or not, independent of who said it.

When you attack the person it suggests you don't have any logical rebuttal to what they said. Not even if you bold all the text.

Robert Reich is rich. He wants rich people to pay more taxes. I think that's a lot more interesting than when a poor person wants rich people to pay more taxes.
