A lot of the people who work in tech are the ones who left reddit and came to lemmy…
They're relatively liberal, until people start pointing out how they tend to make 3x the average American and are wealthy compared to everyone else.
As soon as their tax bracket comes up, they want to pretend that they have it just as bad as the rest of America.
A single person making over twice the median household income isn't who we should be worrying about right now. They can pay their taxes just fine. Others are struggling to eat and afford rent.
Edit:
I've lost count of how many rich overseas workers have made 5+ replies to my comments in less than 10 minutes screaching about how they shouldn't pay taxes
And every single one claims to be right on the line for having to pay it… yet want it thrown out for billionaires as well…
Apparently I can't block replies to comment like on reddit, so I'm just blocking every "temporary poor billionaire" who wants to spend energy online arguing billionaires should pay taxes because it would mean they do too

No one has time for the Scrouge McDuck defenders.
No one gives a fuck about your attempt to sow baseless division
