Quite a bit. Those that vote against their own interests and don't want the rich to be taxed, for example.
Do you personally know a lot of people like this? Like relatives?
Yeah, luckily I'm not in contact with those people that often anymore.
These people are not in my social bubble, but I come from a poor family, so they were in my social bubble once upon a time.
What reason is there to tax the rich more than we currently do? Why do they owe the government more money than they are currently being taxed for?
