So why the fuck would you do it? The rich end up worse off because they pay at a higher tax rate. The poor end up worse off because the government raises less revenue.If you view progressive policies as written by jealous-minded, less-successful people and their white saviors it all starts to make sense.
Well, royamcr hit the nail on the head. So you fuck the rich fuckers. So you can cut off your nose to spite your face. Why? Because populism and class warfare appeal to a large number of Democratic voters. So that's why you saw the lot of them, Biden, Sanders, Warren, Harris, Buttigieg, in a contest to see who could tax the rich the most. Originally Posted by Tiny
