Paulemeister@feddit.org 3 weeks agoWhy do you think the majority of people would be against a wealth tax? Are the people really buying into the idea that with enough hard work one might one day be a multi millionaire? Feels like Stockholm syndrome driven by propaganda by the rich

you don’t need majority disapproval to lose because voter turnout is far from 100%, and it is possible to become a millionaire with “hard work” (and student loans) just look at lawyers and doctors.

Notice how they didn’t say millionnaire though, they said multi-milionnaire.
There’s a difference between being worth a million and ten
