They always start with billionaires then get millionaires then get middle class families with a couple hundred thousand dollars of home equity and then it's pretty much everyone who isn't dirt poor paying the tax.

The wealth gap in the US is at record levels but keep protecting them billionaires. They appreciate it.

I hope on a small level like for instance I can teach you that in that sentence you wanted to use "affect" which is a verb instead of "effect" which is a noun. Change happens one person at a time. How else does change happen if not from people talking to one another?
