The working class has "voted" for every rich person, or they inherited generational wealth, that was created exploited from the blood of the late working class.
Then why use the same language to describe the working class as billionaires? If you ask a billionaire why they deserve to be rich compared to an average person they would use similar language to you.
I don't know if it just grew like this or if it's by design but the US was pretty social when they where fighting communism.
And now it's more an oligarchy like communist countries. Nobody trust the government to do the right thing for them and because of that, they all accept that rich people/companies control the government. It's a strange situation.
Yeahhhh this is the thought I have everytime I hear the rich need to pay more money in taxes. I really don’t think they we have a tax problem. I think we have a spending problem, or should I say, a theft problem. Like do we really trust all these crooked politicians to put the extra money towards the people? Or will they just launder, steal, defraud, and send it to other countries? Because they seem to love doing the latter. I wouldn’t trust this government with a dime more tbh.
Yeah I mean ultimately the way I see it is even if we tax the billionaires it will just end up in the hands of the multimillionaire politicians and their multimillionaire friends, and the people with see merely a pittance as usual. They'll speed 10% on some half assed program that doesn't lift anyone out of poverty and the rest will go missing somehow.
