Fox News got baby boomers to worship the 1%. Now they don't even have to worry about finding tax loopholes but they're not being taxed while the rest of us are being taxed to death.

@danielwright9990 Democrats don't worship rich people. We think they should pay high taxes like the rest of us. Trickle down is a lie invented by rich people in the 1980s. How can you tell if a wealthy person is lying? Their lips are moving. How can you tell if somebody is gullible? They trust rich people. Or they work a low end job at Amazon and act surprised when they find out how terrible the working conditions are. Actually those 2 answers aren't mutually exclusive. Why don't people instantly change their minds when somebody they disagree with makes arguments they can't refute? The backfire effect. Most people lack critical thinking and have narcissistic traits and are thin skinned. It's one of the reasons I'm misanthropic.

@danielwright9990 Albert Einstein once wrote an article called 'Why Socialism?' where he made some pretty compelling arguments for how capitalism will eventually lead to an oligarchy and will kill the middle class. Socialism isn't bad. Some of the highest IQ people in the world have supported it in some form. Canadian socialism has given Canada less wealth inequality than the United States according to the Gini Index. South Africa is the most unequal nation according to that index. And of course many of the wealthy and the pundits who are paid by them don't want you to support socialism. The narcissist feels he is being hurt even when he is wealthy beyond belief. Take a hay penny from a narcissist and watch them throw a tantrum.
