@DarenCotter @Spauldi55428511 @robinhanson The main reason (setting aside nefarious motives) people do this is that there actually is a dataset of taxable income, but there isn't one for assets. It's an instances of the streetlight effect.

@DarenCotter@Spauldi55428511@robinhanson人们这样做的主要原因（撇开邪恶动机不谈）是，实际上有一个应税收入数据集，但没有一个资产数据集。这是街灯效应的一个例子。
