Oh they know, but 98% of them consider taxing the rich to be self-persecution. The current crop of establishment dems need to be recalled or primaried, they’re too corrupted to turn a new page.
Yup! The issue is the dems are supported by, you guessed it, the rich. Aside from a few outliers who put their beliefs and morals ahead of their wallets or power, most of the dems would never turn their back on their oligarchic stakeholders.
I mean, fuck, they make $174,000 a year and work like 130 days a year. Assuming 8 hour work days, that’s ~$167/hour, before any sort of lobbying or bribes gifts. They can just sit there and do fuck all and be happy as a cow, so that’s what they do. For some reason, we (the people) keep voting for them, usually just out of fear of the other guys getting the spot.
