That's the bottom line.
But a bunch of poor or "middle class" people (many of whom are a missed paycheck or one unfortunate circumstance away from being poor) won't let go of the dream that they just might be Jay-Z or Bill Gates one day so they accept a heinously corrupt reality because they have faith in the infinitesimal odds that their dream will one day become their real life.
Nonsense. History has repeatedly shown that "taxing the rich" never stops at the rich.
And whats wrong with aspiring to be rich in the first place? There is the possibility it can happen for you in the United States. Can't say the same in those socialist utopias like Cuba.
