Ah my friend, your words address the issue perfectly. The chosen image and song: ideal.
And there it is: the problem. Example: The guy driving the rusted- out chevy, to his minimum wage job trying to figure out how to pay for his mother’s life-saving surgery.
Will he vote to tax the billionaires? Of course not. Because next year, or the next, or the one after that, when he makes as much money as a guy like Bezos, no way he’s paying higher taxes. A garage full of souped-up hummers at each of his sixty-five homes around the world are part of his plan/ dream/whatever.
“If you can’t afford to get your own health care,”he says, “ya do without .”
The 1% have done a beauty of a brainwash, huh.
