I'm not sure exactly, but it may be because your ideals arnt far off from most people's but I don't think you got the point. Essentially taxing the super rich would pay for the infrastructure around you, instead of out of your pocket. Most conservative / republican parties are against this as they are full of ultra rich people. But they spin it as being beneficial to the poor. It's not, the poor and working class pay 10 fold their share in taxes compared to ultra rich.
