Bootstraps, but don't you dare try to tax inheritance.
I grew up in a conservative household. The right hates the poor. The belief is that if you're poor it's because you're lazy, and if you get any sort of hand out then you'll never want to work. They believe that the poor need to live like POWs, otherwise they'll be complacent. Hell, the only reason I escaped that kind of toxic thinking was when I experienced it myself. I was fresh out of college and couldn't get a well paying job. I was working nights as a janitor so I could attend interviews during the day. My mom decided she needed to have a talk with me about being too comfortable where I was. Obviously i only didn't have a job because I wasn't looking hard enough, because I must have been making enough as a night janitor to be comfortable. Because in their eyes, anyone who is comfortable will never seek to better their station.
It's an evil, ignorant way of thinking that has been reinforced by years of bootstraps and anti union conversations.
