Why would that be hard to understand. It makes total sense.

People making >200k probably use almost no government resources, and are sick of getting taxed up the arse left and right at any opportunity.

I’d be happy to pay more tax if I had any faith the money would be used wisely, but I don’t. Hence, my goal when voting is tax minimization.

If people who are wealthier are older they are getting social security and Medicare. Everyone is getting roads to drive on, police, and other government services. They probably are still sending their kids to public schools and moved into the “good neighborhoods” to get into better schools.
Use almost no govt resources....this is the problem. They use a ton they just don't realize it. The FAA to keep the planes in the air, FDA to keep food and medicine safe, Law enforcement to keep the streets safe, Roads, etc and on and on.....

Americans are spoiled and don't realize how much the government does for them.

For a truly low govt society they can move to various third world countries.

I make more than that and I am not sick of being taxed.
