    The implication is that wealthy people will ultimately have to pay for it all and will lose their wealth and thereafter just be normal.

    Weirdly, lots of poor people jump on this band wagon because they “identify as” wealthy people. My parents belong in this category. They used to be called “temporarily embarrassed millionaires”, but a millionaire isn’t really that wealthy any more.

    Regardless, you have this bizarre situation of poor people voting to improve the situations of wealthy people, because that’s who they aspire to be.

    Yes, it’s bonkers.
