You know, are these guys going to be the guys who change tax policy against the very rich?

It's not going to happen.

So really, my message is not so much to the politicians, it's to the British and American people.

I guarantee you, unless this is pushed for aggressively by the public,

It will not happen.

And ordinary people see their kids and their grandkids be significantly poorer than they are.

So to be honest, I don't want to talk to the politicians.

I want to tell the public because they are the guys who will fix this if it ever gets fixed.

I think they definitely should fund it more and they would get more.

But I think the reason that they've been able to sort of defund the tax collection agency is because...

Nobody is protecting the brand of tax in the eyes of the public.

I've been thinking about doing a series of videos called The Joy of Tax because people hate tax.

Obviously people hate tax.

Nobody wants to pay tax.

So it's like really, this is why Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan could do what they did and slash taxes and basically destroy the poor and have the poor actively cheer on their own destruction because people hate taxes.

People need to understand what tax is.

Tax is your army that protects you from your domestic billionaires.

If you do not have an army, then you can't stop Putin.

And if you do not have an IRS, then you cannot stop Musk and Bezos.

And both of those groups of people want the exact same thing.
