I've long held that democrats will never actually tax the rich because they ARE the rich. Wait until AOC has a personal net worth of $5M+ some day. That's when the writing will really be on the wall. Post-college liberals would rather vote for a billionaire mayor (Bloomberg) or billionaire governor (Pritzker) than actually taxing a billionaire down to multi-millionaire status. Their "economic populism" of virtue signaling without policy enforcement is all a show folks. It's writing on a dress, nothing more. Dinosaur Feinstein has a personal net worth in excess of $80M. Those physical therapy classes must be half a million a pop if she needs that much cash under the mattress.

I think its more along the lines if they've fix the problem with taxes they've given up their best marketing material. Its kind of like how the Republicans never really wanted to overturn Roe.
