Many policies are literally convincing poor families that it is in their best interests to help support the frail legacy of billionaires. How!? In the US, poor people don't see themselves as poor.

Therefore people oppose taxes on "the rich" because they think that those taxes might one-day affect them, even if that expectation is unrealistic in the extreme.
