Just because someone is part of the 1% doesn’t mean they cannot be critical of the way others in the 1% act. What kind of logic is that? “Hey man, you drive too - you can’t critique other drivers!” The point isn’t about wealth inequality inherently being a terrible thing - it’s that wealth inequality without any checks or balances has lead to a lot of terrible things like the gutting of the middle class in the US. We are supposed to be freer than we’ve ever been yet we live in a new age of serfdom. The gains of our economy go to the top 1% (or even less). It is not being shared to all and thus why people are pissed because they’re paying more in taxes to support these guys than some of the 1% when it comes to proportion of their income. People just want equality. They don’t give a shit if you have billions. They want billionaires to pay the fair amount the rest of us W2 slaves have to deal with and not use pledged asset lines and stepped up basis to avoid ever paying taxes.
