“The only reason anybody would be against taxing the ultra wealthy is they’re either ultra wealthy already, or hope/dream to be.”
Not true. I used to be a brainwashed, pro-flat-tax good Republican boy who was never rich, but believed that more money for the rich would lead to more hiring and higher salaries for everyone underneath. So, there’s a third group you forgot to mention: anyone who believes in the myth of trickle-down economics. I’ve since hacked up the cool-aid and would be fine with taxing the daylights out of them. Naturally, I still vote Republican; I’m just a bad Republican boy now.
