......Please, try to feel good about the ordinary worker FINALLY being in a position of having some TRIVIAL POWER.

Just what "tax break" would that be????
The top 1% of earners paid
40% of all income tax collected in 2018
The top 10% paid 68%
and the top 53% paid 100% of all income tax
So maybe those "ordinary workers" can climb the ladder and start paying
THEIR "fair share"
