I am surprised people bite at this manipulative narrative. It seems to me that it discredits their arguments right away. In that sense, voter education would go a long way.

To be top .5% in 2020, a household needed a net worth of $17,557,208. The top .1% bracket started around $43,207,732.
This wealth tax doesn't kick in until 50M USD.
Huh? 0.05% is 20x smaller than 1%
I suspect it's people believing what they want to believe. When Elizabeth Warren comes along and says, "you can have everything you need: healthcare, food, clothing, housing, all without having to work at a job you hate, and all we have to do is agree to take a little bit from a few people who won't even miss it", a lot of people who do work at a job they hate and stress about how much healthcare, food, clothing and housing they have or might have in the future don't really see much downside in saying, "yeah, sure, let's try it".
