The "dark MAGA" economic pitch to voters:

2. Thanos said if we accept the death of one out of every two living beings, the rest of us would be better off.

How about this? We adopt a tax system that taxes the rich and the corporations at a higher level than the middle class and throw out all the exemptions and loopholes that allow a billionaire to pay less in taxes than a working-class citizen.

That way no one suffers. A hypothetical 1 percenter making, say, 10 million a year and has to pay 40% in income tax on it still gets 6 million. Hardly the income level that one suffers under.
