An 8% increase in prices is meaningless to the upper class, but it seriously hits many people who were making just above minimum wage before who are getting no benefits from restaurants paying more now. Like most things, democrats hit the lowest laziest fruit possible. Instead of creating value for the 99% by passing a wealth tax he created value for the bottom quarter by redistributing wealth from the bottom half The upper class are still paying the increase, they just dont care as much. But yes a wealth tax would be better, unfortunately Republicans and Dems like Manchin/Sinema wont let that happen. --- "Hope is allowed to be stupid, unwise, and naive." ~Sir Chris <cite>Maniac64 posted [p:960849305] in Politics C...
