My Father-in-law is a huge Liberal. Loves the big government. Wants “society” to help all the downtrodden people who are too stupid to help themselves. Wants higher taxes. Much higher taxes. Rich people have GOT to pay their fair share!
Oh, by the way, he worked hard and did extremely well in life. He’s sitting on a big pile on money. And he is inordinately fond of his accountant who is a WIZARD at tax avoidance! FIL loves that guy!

But yeah, they do make sure to claim that $5 deduction for a pair of dirty socks
