Comment on A secret, never-mentioned fact is that the people who voted for Zohran are also taxpayers.
HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 5 days agoThe 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.

If gen Z/A/Millennials had the same opportunities as the Boomers did they would do exactly the same.
