    They raise taxes on the middle class to make people hate taxes so they vote for smaller government.

    They’ve been doing it since the 80s. God how I wish our politics weren’t in a death spiral. It’s so boring.

        Billionaires are always the enemy.

        You do not get to even 1 billion without causing massive indirect harm to a shitload of people. No one, no one, every, has put in enough to “earn” 1 billion. The vast majority of people will work their entire lives and be lucky to have a gross total income of a few million. Thats Gross, not worth or wealth, thats, “I took money in and spent it to live.”

        I would argue anyone worth much over 10 million is in the same harm causing boat as billionaires.
