Not happy about this, but it isn’t any more moronic than poor to mid class boomers arguing for tax cuts for wealthy people and deregulation of business because “someday I or my children can be rich.” Both views are delusional.
tax cuts for wealthy people? Explain....
Lottery players.
Exactly. “Conservatives” who expect to win the libertarian wet dream entrepreneurial jackpot are just as delusional as the Gen-Zers who expect to win the YouTube, Instagram, TikTok or OnlyFans jackpot.
It all depends on the definitions of the words you are using.
Most people are poor at some time in life and well off in others.
Many people think of "the rich" as anybody making a few dollars more than them.
Regulation of business costs consumers and employees as much as the business owners, as the costs are simply passed on. Much regulation is useless and simply punitive.
Regulation and high taxes are what prevent many people from becoming well off.
To think otherwise is delusional.

It socialism that’s delusional. If you tax success, you get less of it. We are still seeing the positive effects of the Reagan tax cuts, although the Democrats are doing their best to bring us back to the stagnation of the high tax era.
you sound like a liberal.
EVERYONE needs a tax cut that pays taxes. Those that pay no taxes or negative taxes need to end up at 0 or above.
Delusional:
Since WWII-
The govt has collected between 15-25% of the GDP regardless of tax scheme. That includes nominal 90% rates for the wealthy at one time.
The US has the most progressive tax code in first world history.
60% of filers pay no zero tax.
The tax cuts for the wealthy have them paying more of the whole than ever.
One has to be deluded to buy into the armies of regulators and libraries of largely unaccountable bs is anything but the corps using the govt to inhibit competition.
Maybe next time instead eight federal regulating agencies and state banking regulators failing to oversee all of six crucial national banks in 2008-12 Fed agencies and multiple state regulators will get the job done.
Material reserved for dim bulb Democrats, beyond delusional.
