Why should I care about taxes on the rich?
In the past I was opposed to them, because the rich were supposed to be reinvesting that wealth back into the economy - low taxes were a win-win game for everyone.
But they haven’t actually been doing that. They’ve been hoarding wealth and not recycling it back into the economy. They broke the implied contract under which we stood up for their interests - they told us to go take a hike.
So let them be taxed. The government serves only them, and only they should pay for it while that is the case. I’m fully willing to throw them under the bus at this point in order to get something of value in return.
They’ve been driving that bus over us time and time again, circling around the block for extra passes, throwing it in reverse and drive and reverse again to flatten us to the greatest extent possible.
Why should the rich not be the exclusive source of funds for governments that serve only the rich? Let them pay for the maintenance of their own property. They bought it, they own it, and now they can pay for it.
You believe in taxing the rich?
Here. This should interest you.

John Locke is smiling.
Maybe we could move to communal property to make sure these resources are deployed for the people.
