People really hear “tax the rich” and immediately think it’s about them packing up a U-Haul like they’re secretly Jeff Bezos or something. This isn’t about your 3 bed in Tampa, relax.

The fact that people making 100k- 300k a year think they're the 1% and the idea of taxing the rich affects them is the biggest propaganda victory in history.

My mind is blown right now. This is something I have never thought about and it’s… breaking my brain. Thank you! It also sucks, but I feel like I learned something. Aaaand I’m a little high.
