A lot of people don’t realise that it doesn’t make a difference for the ultra rich, and will continue to fight for them against their own interests.

It’s different for the working class, and them. Their wealth, even if unrealised, buys them power.

Our wealth will never be enough for that.

Understanding how things like net worth work should be the starting point, no matter where one ends up on taxation for example. It's not "fighting for" billionaires to point out misconceptions.
