Simple. People think it’s unfair that they are not living just a couple notches below a billionaire lifestyle when they could share their wealth. A very small portion of people are stuck in a fantasy. Watching all the rich people’s Instagram and twitch feeds. Seeing them live this fake but rather luxurious life while putting forth minimal effort. They want that life style. (This is what the news likes to focus on)

Then there is a big ass group of people who are making $40-$60k a year. This is absolutely a struggling wage these days. I’m not going to get into budgets but rent, car payment, health insurance can just about eat 50% of that before you even start to buy food and electricity.

Part of the problem is because the government isn’t keeping up with the times. The government absolutely should be investing our taxes into programs that the citizens want. Like healthcare, education and infrastructure. But the government isn’t really doing that. The government spends more on themselves than the entire Housing and Urban Development for the entire country. Think about that. 10 billion more dollars per year go directly to supporting politicians than the entire urban development.

So we are accustomed to getting fucked by the government so we attack the next best thing that has money. Politicians are like “yea, it’s all billionaires fault”. Why wouldn’t they? It keeps attention off their backs.
