I think I've got it,the last 20 yrs TV series and movies have given rise to the Anti-Hero,eg the Sopranos,Breaking Bad,and Mad Men,many others,could it be that accepting very flawed characters and seeing them in a sympathetic light in fiction has paved the way for the same acceptance in reality?That said I agree w/what you say,it NEVER TRICKLES DOWN and getting the rich to pay more under a D administration has to appeal to a sense of duty,giving back to a nation that provided and allowed them to amass such wealth,to be able to pay more should be seen as virtuous. Give them praise for doing so,more flies w/honey than vinegar.It can't be about jealousy/hatred and resentment, the animosity has to go.it's a simple as they will feel the hit the least and their lives won't change one iota,multiple residences to follow the weather,private club memberships,Ivy league educations guaranteed for generations,high end auto's all assured regardless of steeper taxes. Some are just mean,but many other wealthy I believe lose compassion over the hostile narrative in which taxation is pursued. And yeah,all working class people marking a ballot for the Orange wave will spend four years reaching into their pocket and feeling nothing but their genitals, it's gotta be the anti-hero thing,life imitating art,buckle up my friends.
