    Once the left wanted higher taxes for everyone; Gen-Z socialists demand handouts funded by billionaires

    Fucking crazy take. Billionaires have been paying far less than their share for decades. A regular person might pay 33% on their annual wealth gains while billionaire accounting and tax dodging leaves them near 0%.

    People “demand handouts from billionaires” because 31.7% OF ALL WEALTH IN THE USA is tied up in the personal assets of 1% of the population. There is quite literally nowhere else to get the money.
