I have been poor my whole life, my parents were poor, and I have just finally started making more than 400k a year after tons of high risk hard work. The thought Biden wants to punish me for this is infuriating. I worked so hard for this. I'm already paying nearly 50% in taxes!!

Weird, because if someday I make 400K a year, I would want to help the less fortunate. You know, since I grew up poor and all.

oh yeah. I'm pretty generous with my money and donate to charity. I just don't trust the government to take my money and feed it into the military. I don't trust a government that can allow someone like Trump in office.

That’s great that you donate to charity, but why is it a problem that People like you get taxed? Don’t you want to keep public education afloat? Don’t you want to keep affordable housing, affordable? Don’t you want the same for everyone else?

Yes - but I think there's other, better ways to do that besides funneling money into a corrupt and inefficient government. I absolutely value helping people who need it, but right now I think taxes is one of the worst ways to help people who need it.

For example I live in SF, where housing is not affordable. It's not affordable because regulations in SF are preventing new housing from being built. There's no ability for developers to actually make enough housing to drive costs down. We should lift those regulations!
