"The most revealing truth about modern politics: 'Eat the rich' never targets the people who actually got rich by taking your money through taxes, regulations, and crony deals. It targets the people who got rich by creating products and services you voluntarily chose to buy because they improved your life.
"Jeff Bezos became wealthy because millions of people decided Amazon made their lives better. Meanwhile, career politicians become wealthy by redistributing other people's money while producing nothing of value. Guess which one gets labeled the villain?
"The real parasites are the ones who get rich through political power rather than voluntary exchange. They use government force to transfer wealth from productive people to themselves and their allies, then convince you that the problem is the people who actually earned their money.
"This misdirection is intentional. If people understood that politicians and bureaucrats are the real wealth extractors, they might start asking uncomfortable questions about where all those tax dollars actually go and why the government keeps growing while problems never get solved."
