Lets be honest, politicians want to seem like they are going after the ultra wealthy without actually going after the ultra wealthy, because they are either ultra wealthy themselves, or their donors / friends are.

We've known for decades that its the 99% vs the 1%

It's why I was concerned to not see provisions requiring the IRS funding being dedicated to the marketed 1%.
