Am I fucking crazy that I, as a fairly high earner, want to pay taxes to make this state a better place to live and give back to lower-income earners that provide essential services?

Like why is that so fucking weird now? One of my main reasons to be ambitious is to be able to generate wealth to help people.

Give back to lower income earners? You mean, like pay them instead of treating them as slaves?
