Yes agree. But if you think you're middle class, then this admin thinks you're part of the entitled rich.
The OP fully supports this regime. He thinks they aren't marxist enough.
The current tax policy is very much where Trump left it.
And yes, if Marxism means the wealthy pay according to how much they benefit from this economic system, then call me a Marxist. The scales are no where close to being balanced
That's such a one-sided view.
What about the people who the economic system is benefiting an aweful lot from?
You think Bezos spends his life fortune on a crackpot online bookstore if the most he would ever gain from it was a $200,000/yr salary? You don't think that people like Steve Jobs should be insanely wealthy for the amount of convenience he helped bring to the world?
Or does the tech industry get a pass on billionaires.
Who is going to pay people to take financial risks to do things like, I dunno, drill oil wells? Those cost money and are risky. Lost of people lose their fortunes in that industry. A friend of mine went from a net worth of 9 figures to 7 figures in just a couple of years in that industry, and he is not an outlier.
