    In the US you can deduct the mortgage interest, which is even more of a benefit for the wealthy than the mortgage as a whole would be since the deduction decreases the longer someone stays in a home.

    Social security being a flat percentage with a cap is also a form of class war.

      Investment income being taxed less than employment income is another form of class warfare.

      Why the hell do you pay more in taxes than Elon Musk?

        Yup, and all of these are sold as benefitting the non-wealthy while glossing over how much more it benefits the wealthy.
