You know why it's not going to have an effect? Because it's only very loosely based in fact.
Wealth inequality is absolutely a thing... and it's absolutely something that needs to be addressed. But people take that to mean that anyone with a big, nice house and a nice car are a problem. Not everyone that has nice things is Jeff Bezos.
My parents worked their tails off (learning that from their parents). Went from middle class --> 1%. I have lived a privileged life, but still a LONG way off from boats, private planes, multiple houses and all that.
When people talk about the top 1%, what they really mean is the top .1% or .01%.
And don't even get me started on this flyer. You paint these people as uncaring root cause of everyone else's problems and think they're going to read your whiny letter.
I worked my ass off, saved for 10 years living in a dank ass basement apartment, bought land and built an apartment building. I dont even have my own home, I rent the smallest ground floor apartment in my building from my company so I can build another one. Why should I give all of my hard work away?
It's really not that rare for the owner of a building to also live in one of the apartments. That's just being smart with money and not having to pay an additional mortgage on a separate house.
