Doesn’t make sense.
Perhaps it does, white liberal guilt. Also the belief that the new taxes will somehow exempt them.
I dont believe these numbers
Actually, it makes perfect sense.
Warren Buffet said it best - America is the greatest place in history.
People like Bill Gates and myself may have spectacular wealth, but in the things that matter, the quality of our lives are much the same as your average middle class American.
We all live in comfortable, air conditioned homes, we all drive nice, reliable cars, we all eat the same foods and we all share a standard of living that Kings and Queens could only be dream of a century earlier. The only real meaningful difference between my lifestyle and that of most other Americans is my mobility and mode of transportation using private jets.
Sure, I may have many very nice homes around the world, drive nicer and more expensive luxury cars and eat and drink better foods cooked by world class chefs but in all really meaningful measures, my life is not markedly better than that of your average middle class American. And for the most part, he is correct. In fact, your average middle class American may be happier than many of the very wealthy - just ask Michelle Obama.
This is not a good thing for the ultra rich who wish to walk as all powerful gods or old line royalty lording over their inferior serfs in the public.
For them it is not enough to have just more and better than their fellows citizens - they want to have everything and live in splendor and for the rest to have nothing and live destitute lives under the thumbs of their betters.
They desire a return to a type of neo feudalism where they live in wealth and privilege like as Lords of the Manor like the degenerate Versailles nobility of pre Revolutionary France surrounded by powerless and destitute serfs who dare not look up and meet their gaze and whose lives they have in the palm of their hands.
That's why they love China so much and why many of the movers and shakers of the Party of Davos are the descendants of the titled nobility who wish to see their power and position restored and petty bureaucrats who wish to be elevated to positions of power and control over people.
When you look at their policies with this perspective, everything makes total sense.
Actually it does make sense. There are several promising ,to the Dems, politicians in NYC. But they all know one gets to be mayor and that’s the end. It just is. So the Dems are left with their dregs. Go back and look at those that ran against Guiliani and Bloomberg and who followed. There is a guy from the Bronx, Ritchoe Torres, who would have won this in a walk, but his sights are on Albany and DC.
This accounts for the awful voter turnouts. You would thinl Mario’s brat would wipe the floor with this motley woke crew but he did not realize how much he is hated because of Covid and his babe hunting and hurting. So it will be an antisemitic paki born islamo socialist.
