Educate the next generation. My kids demonize taxes based off a short video but then get a quick education. Taxes aren’t the devil, the rich dudes who aren’t paying their share are causing your burden to be higher. Billionaires aren’t always the enemy, but look at Amazon wages and it’s an easy way to show them that hoarded wealth generally comes from keeping others down. It takes a bit longer, but elders are the only entity that can counter the bullshit they’re being fed.
You do not get to even 1 billion without causing massive indirect harm to a shitload of people. No one, no one, every, has put in enough to “earn” 1 billion. The vast majority of people will work their entire lives and be lucky to have a gross total income of a few million. Thats Gross, not worth or wealth, thats, “I took money in and spent it to live.”
I would argue anyone worth much over 10 million is in the same harm causing boat as billionaires.
They raise taxes on the middle class to make people hate taxes so they vote for smaller government.
They’ve been doing it since the 80s. God how I wish our politics weren’t in a death spiral. It’s so boring.
