You're walking down the street with a billionaire.

A thief approaches, but only robs you.

Would your complaint be that the billionaire should have been robbed too?

Taxation is coercion. Instead of resenting those who manage to keep more of what they earn, consider that billionaires are the ones taking risks, investing, and creating jobs. If anything, the real issue is government waste, not who’s being “robbed” the least. To that extent, what DOGE is doing, at least for the moment, is something positive, regardless of the political spin around it.
