10. Wage and income taxes are different
especially between members of different economic levels. Income means any monies you earn in a year, whether it's interest or capital gains or annuities or a host of financial sources including wages.

That's an important distinction if you're talking about the poorest and the wealthiest members of society. The poorest members of society tend to be taxed only on wages and have bank accounts so small as to not generate taxable levels of interest. To my thinking, there's a clear and important difference, and her critique is valid, even if her mockery is offputting.

Calling a woman a bitch isn't generally regarded as acceptable means of communicating your displeasure over her exacting intelligence.
