The thing that kills me though is that they never stop to ask why someone like that would also side with them on progressive tax plans. There's so much cognitive dissonance involved that they actually view people like Bill Gates or Tim Cook (formerly Steve Jobs) are "good" people. Ignoring the mountain of necks they stepped on or lives ruined to get to the level of wealth they've acquired.
Any billionaire that agrees with a tax plan that should disproportionately affect them has already found a loophole out of it, and is using it as a cudgel against their opponents and an opiate to their workers and consumers.
But of course these are the same people who wait for days in a line wrapped around the block for the newest Chinese slave assembled iPhone.
