    I think the deeper issue is that a lot of people think they’re going to be wealthy one day, and propaganda against taxing the wealthy makes them feel like the government is taxing their feelings about being wealthy in the future, causing them to vote against their own interests and prevent themselves from actually becoming more wealthy.

      I starting to wonder if their really are enough delusional people for that to be a thing, what pea brain actually think they might end up a billionaire in their life time, they have better odds winning the lottery and that wouldn’t make you a billionaire either.
