They probably mean something of that scale. Working people have only been losing protections, rights, and safetynets for 50 years, not gaining them, all, to lower the taxes of the sliver of the population that already wanted for nothing and got rich thanks to the system they then wanted to avoid paying back into.
The person you’re replying to is spot on. As our roads and other commons cumble, as our public education system, that provides a pre-literate workforce that profits the oligarchs btw, sits in utter ruin due to lack of funding, as we have more prisoners per capita in the world to enrich the for profit prison industry, as the world burns from companies polluting with abandon for private profit, this rigged system has proven on no uncertain terms that it works against those who lack significant capital to further enrich those who do not. After so long, yeah, it would reasonably take a massive policy change that helps the people in significant way on the backs of against the desires of the owner to get anyone paying attention’s good will back.
Don’t worry though, it won’t happen.
If you want people to have faith in a system that works against them every day and has for their entire lives on the promise of “maybe you’ll kick the ball on try 10,006 Charlie Brown,” you don’t make any sense.
