Same for most of the people I know (I'm a millennial). It used to be you got more conservative as you got older but i think the consensus now is you get more conservative the richer you get and well, my generation isn't getting richer. I think we all just realize how easy it would be to pay the bill if we would just tax the rich. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] billy_bollocks@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago* Not defending the other douche but im willing to bet you’d probably be surprised at how expensive it is to live in European countries with all of those things you’re hoping for.

What taxes aren't we collecting that could be going to everyone? Why should some 40K a year guy have to pay 10% of his income as taxes and someone like Bezos doesn't? The US used to have a 69% tax rate for the ultra wealthy before Regan took office.
