    Why’s he saying that? Because he believes in a better world rather than acting out of self interest. Plenty of high net worth and high income individuals advocate for higher taxation. I know I’d rather live in a world where the hungry are fed and the people are housed, rather than have an extra 10% of my income each year.

      He’s not advocating for just taxing the rich though. He’s advocating for eliminating the rich. Which he’s part of.

        He’s not fucking rich! A few million dollars is not rich in the USA in 2025. How can you be this ignorant?

        I’m never going to have a few million dollars, but just because I am lower class doesn’t mean it’s not possible without exploiting others!
