Sounds like these complaining elites need their taxes raised. I’m all for taxing the living hell out of the millionaires and billionaires.

“Sounds like these complaining elites need their taxes raised.”

Yes I agree with this but lets ensure we make a distinction between taxing ‘the elites’ and taxing ‘the corporations’. Because democrats possess a special inability to comprehend the basic economic principle that the cost of goods always gets passed to the consumer. So a tax on ‘the corporation’ means a tax on the consumer. That’s what they mean by ‘tax the rich’. That blindness stems from a sophistry that is absolutely astronomical in scale.

Then that gets muddied because the corporations easily purchase the politicians from both camps. Then the democrats can say “oh... well both sides are guilty!”.
