unfortunately the real issue is conservatives wanting to lower taxes for the rich and increase taxes for the poor.

.gaia.

“Tax the rich” is a scam. A new 2% wealth tax or whatever does nothing to stop wealth inequality from growing. It doesn’t stop hoarding. If a person’s income grows far above 2% a year then that little tax does nothing to rebalance and distribute resources

because we need to be taxing the rich and lowering taxes on the poor. not just one or the other. your post talks about how increasing the taxes on the rich doesn’t do anything but i think even a 2 percent tax is better than what we have now

I think they should be taxed astronomically more. In fact I think A LOT should change. I’m a leftist. I’m just saying don’t be satisfied or duped by liberal politicians touting a 2% tax as if it is world changing.

unfortunately the only way to get the riches vote is to act like you won’t do anything bad to them. they’re the ones that have the funds here.

Maybe we should look at politics differently lmao. If your goal is appeasing the rich then buddy we got some bigger issues lmao.

nobody wants to appease the rich as the end goal, the point is that the big reason billionaire apologist trump is in office right now is because elon and other billionaires put all of their resources into getting him elected because they felt it would benefit them. maybe that is what dems need to do, appease the billionaires long enough to get resources then pivot
