In the presence of hierarchy, there will always be those in the underclasses who will betray anyone to secure their place as “first of the least”. It is why white women vote republican in such large numbers. It is why so many among the working class clamor to defend billionaires. ‘Notice me, senpai’ as ideology.
The capital gains tax is hilarious. I wish some public figure would put out a public service announcement where they explain it “Bruh, if you buy $100 worth of stock, and then you sell it for $200, then you get to keep $185 (netting $85 in profit). If you think this is a problem, you are either a demon or a moron.”

They defend billionaires because they have this insane forlorn fantasy that they could just suddenly have to care about the capitol gains tax.

Except of course if you buy that stock and sell it short term its still taxed normally.
