Comment on A secret, never-mentioned fact is that the people who voted for Zohran are also taxpayers.

The problem is that wealth inequality in the USA has an age component.

Boomers are far wealthier than previous generations at their equivalent age as a percentage of national wealth. They are also incredibly sensitive to taxes as their retirement depends on managing wealth.

In contrast, Gen X and millennials are poorer than Boomers at their equivalent age and mainly contribute to the economy with their labor.

It isn’t a perfect divide, but there is a wealth divide that represents itself somewhat as a generational divide.
