Its classist and completely dismissive of the wide variety of opinions people have over how and to what extent government should be funded.
- goldcd 7y agoI think there's also a wide division as to what people think their government is for. e.g. "Should I pay to arrest/convict/incarcerate the person who stole my phone" vs. "Should my cancer be cured without bankrupting me" #1 seems to get universal traction, as does #2 in pretty much every country who could fund it, apart from the US.
- rayiner 7y agoIt is extremely classist. My wife is from rural Iowa. Folks around where she grew up aren't thinking "one day I'll be rich like Donald Trump so I'm going to vote for low taxes."
