A long time ago, I actually believed in the myth that if taxes are lowered for the rich, they’d have more capital to spend.
With that extra capital, I was taught that they’d use the opportunity of lower taxes and more money in their pocket to invest in the economy, with the understanding that we’d all benefit from what they invest in, such as higher wages, private control over public services (after seeing them decline for so long), fostering in a freer market due to fewer regulations over it.
So what blew off the cover of that lie? Seeing, over time, that a lot of what George Carlin observed about American society and government rings true.
This got the ball rolling while working regular jobs. Noticing the behaviors of the typical CEO, reading up on the stagnation of wages since 1980, and the prospect of societal control through a poorly educated populace went a long way towards painting a clearer picture of what we’re all facing now.

they end up hoarding money more like a dragon, and turns out they are cheapskates as well.
