> Eventually, they help everybody

Well yeah, that's the problem. What if I don't want to "help everybody"? What if I can only get my rocks off if I have literally all the money, everyone else is starving in the street, and I can lord it over them that I get to eat and go to the doctor and pay my rent, and they don't? Isn't that the whole point of having money? /s

In other news, I am now even more in favor of voting for Warren. Even if I am not much of a fan of her wealth tax proposal (though I can't imagine it going anywhere anyway. I do think we need to tax the rich more effectively, I just feel like a straight-up yearly wealth tax would be potentially a bit destabilizing, given the rich generally have most of their assets in less-liquid forms, especially at that scale.)

She really does seem to understand everything wrong with our currently government and economic system and how she would try to fix it, and she terrifies the Wall St. people.

But I don't think Jesus (and other Dem voters) don't love me enough to let her be president.
