### Comment:
Not that unusual. Poverty is a self-reinforcing phenomenon. If you're buying all your stuff at Walmart it's probably because you already benefit significantly from a tiny cost savings and built your budget around that. Why would you expect Americans to pay a higher price for the same thing on some abstract possibility that it pays more to people whom they probably see as not really trying in life? I'd be shocked if they did, not that they don't.

I was high when I wrote that and was thinking of Germany and how the citizens accept and embrace higher taxes for the benefit and welfare of their children's education/future
