It’s not about fixing things.
It’s about the fact that it’s ok for people to be very rich, as long as they pay their fair share.
If they don’t pay their fair share then there’s good reason to argue there shouldn’t be ultra wealthy people. Then they’re just exploitative leeches on society.
I find it really hard to understand why the rich don’t make it easier on themselves by being responsible members of society instead of relentlessly focusing on keeping poor people poor.
Pay some taxes, contribute to roads and schools and hospitals.
