So, let's just say I voted no, even if I can't quite pinpoint why... despite how beautifully they marketed the dream of us living on massive estates, traveling through Europe, and strolling through scenic landscapes filled with deer... absolute nonsense.

What on earth was wrong with it, then? How would you have even worded it?

There’s no way you’d be seeing that kind of take as an hourly worker today!

Well, if you strip away everything we pay for healthcare, public schools, Social Security, the police, and the entire social safety net, then sure—you might pay less. Or did you honestly believe those peasants had retirement funds and their kids went to free public school?
