Who's paying the taxes is optional. That burden should fall on the wealthy, not the lower middle class.

I would argue that the central issue is not which class bears the greater tax burden, but the persistence of the class system itself. I am not advocating for abolishing cash or personal property, but am questioning an economic order with declining social mobility and where the circumstances of one's birth increasingly determines the opportunities available throughout life. I think it's more accurate to say that we have castes instead of classes.

As wealth compounds across generations, so too does access to property, capital, education, and influence. The result is that assets become concentrated within a relatively small portion of society, while others find it increasingly difficult to establish any foundations for security and prosperity. Every person should begin from a place where opportunity is genuinely shared rather than inherited.

Whatever you want to call it. The point was that the wealthy should be the ones paying for the public good. Not those who are unfairly burdened by it.
