    If the possibility that you might have to pay your fair share of taxes because you're extremely wealthy seems like oppression to you, you are a greedy, entitled asshole.

    If you know rich people, this is par for the course. I've been hearing them say this kind of thing for years. And they 100% believe it's true.

    When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression. It's really true. Throughout all history, every time the rich are asked to give up a meaningful percentage of their wealth to create more equality they feel oppressed and get angry. It's just a human thing. We have to build systems that don't care if the rich whine and are "rich, dumb idiot proof" or the cycle will just continue.
