In my circle of acquaintances, the loudest “tax the rich” mouths are a curious bunch. They come from upper middle class homes, live in upper middle class neighborhoods, privately educate their children and are well educated themselves.
One lives in a house that would go on the market for 500K, drives a Mercedes, has at best guess a $20K-25K private school tuition bill (the family lives within walking distance of one of the best public high schools in the state), and this is the first year the family has vacationed in the US in the past few years and that was due to a family reunion.
I NEVER see/hear about participation in fundraising/charities outside of school auctions.
I am wondering if class warfare is more for a certain group to “Keep up with the Jones’s” without the discipline and the work ethic of the Jones’s.
Rich people love socialism because it locks out their competition.
