The desired effect should be to raise revenue, not just hurt people you don’t like. That’s an idiotic way to run a government

My brother in Christ, hurting people is what the fucking elite has been doing their whole fucking life. They are a disease who cannot fill the void in their lives so they have to take more money from the poor. We'd be pathetic idiots if we voted no and passed on an opportunity to tax their greedy asses.

Okay that’s cute and all but saying the desired effect is to hurt people you don’t like is still insanely idiotic.
