I am not rich by any means, nor do I own a house/car/stocks etc. And I have a severe dislike for Bezos, Buffet, Bill Gates and other CEOs (I do like Elon though as he seems to be one of the few ceos who’s actually heavily involved with his products). I also hate the massive influence big tech and massive corporations have over politicians. But I really don’t see the fascination of people with “we need to tax the rich more”. For what? To give even more money to the already bloated and corrupt government? The government has plenty of money and yet it’s not used to achieve anything positive. Places like Chicago, Baltimore get crazy amounts of money for decades but the lives of Americans living there hasn’t improved and kids are worse off today education wise. San Fran and LA have crazy taxes and yet have the worst homelessness crisis and defecation on the streets. What we should be talking about is taxing people less and getting rid of the massive bloat and corruption in the government. Getting rid of the lobbying power corporations have over Washington. Getting rid of insider trading being legal for congress and senate. Making any big tech with over a million users in the US into public utilities. Looking into how to make the military spending more efficient, stopping forever wars and cutting down on private contractors. Forcing universities to co-sign the student loans and use a percentage of the salary of the said student after graduation to pay back. Taxing the rich just for the sake of it while the government gets to eat it all without any improvement in lives is silly.
