[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will never understand why maga roots for the wealthy and even seem to feel charitable toward them. What is the deal? Why do they want the wealthy to have all the breaks? Do they still believe in trickle down economics? Is it self-loathing, feeling that tax breaks, etc. should be merit-based rewards? I honestly don’t get it. [/quote] There is a great Hume quote/writing on this. The exact wording escapes me but he posited that the ruled always adopt the interests and opinions of their rulers, which is why throughout history the few fairly have easily governed the many. He said some of that is through force but much of it is actually the very human tendency to adopt interests of others that are contrary to our own self interest. [/quote]
