  • There is a solid counter argument here (to play devil’s advocate). This is what a right wing American would say to this:

    See, we don’t have to tax the rich, they’re so generous. It’s more efficient to let them have their money and donate it directly to causes. The federal government is so bad at allocating wealth, reducing taxes so more people can be like her is the way to go.

    If the person above is not wealthy themselves, the following thought to this is Well, when I’m inevitably wealthy because of how great I am, I don’t want the government taxing me so I can be like her.

    Then they pat themselves on the back for being so ((in an impossible future)) generous.

    It’s worth thinking about how to counter this argument.
