They raise taxes on the middle class to make people hate taxes so they vote for smaller government.

They’ve been doing it since the 80s. God how I wish our politics weren’t in a death spiral. It’s so boring.

Educate the next generation. My kids demonize taxes based off a short video but then get a quick education. Taxes aren't the devil, the rich dudes who aren't paying their share are causing your burden to be higher. Billionaires aren't always the enemy, but look at Amazon wages and it's an easy way to show them that hoarded wealth generally comes from keeping others down. It takes a bit longer, but elders are the only entity that can counter the bullshit they're being fed.
