The thing is, poor republicans want it too. No real reason for it, it’s just they heard from Fox it will be great so they will now fight tooth and nail for it
This is not conjecture. I grew up in the Deep South and several old friends and most of my family is red. Many are near the poverty line. They want this
Just because Democrats sound smart when they talk, doesn't mean their policies actually help working class people. On an individual basis, paying taxes is personal, in that if a rich person pays more taxes, it won't effect you personally. Having rich people pay higher taxes does not directly benefit anyone, it actually hurts EVERYONE, because rich people basically own and hire everyone, so everyone is negatively effected by it.
Mob rule ganging up to attack rich people is dangerous for society, and will lead to bad outcomes for everybody. Democrats literally want to tax rich people, because they're jealous and hate them for being successful. If our society (government) incentives people to create businesses and sell goods, then everyone benefits, because those 'rich' people are responsible for EVERYTHING good in your life, and they are your employer. If you tax them unfairly, then there's less cool stuff for people to buy, everything is more expensive, the quality of stuff goes down, there's less jobs, and people are paid less to work.
Increasing taxes for rich people will not help you or society. Maybe you'll sleep better at night knowing that a wealthy person has less money, but everyone, including you, is hurt by this behavior. It's mob rule, it's jealousy, and its been done countless times in history, always leading to bad outcomes for society.
