“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 resourcesnobody 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
