I lean about as far left as you can go and the song resonates with me. I thought the song was a little deeper, talking about how the rich men (I'm assuming politicians) aren't looking out for people. I feel like saying the song is only about taxes is taking a lot away from it. He talks on important issues like homelessness, male suicide rates, and that no one pays a living wage.
you know there are people who think everyone should have welfare, right? And that they're dramatically to the left of you?
Oh yes, I'm a major supporter of UBI.
Edit: I'm not hating on people who use welfare, earlier I just stated what I thought he meant in his song by the phrase "milking welfare" to mean people who do not currently need it, using it.
Yang Gang, then?
No, not because his ideas and beliefs don't align with mine. In fact a lot of what I have seen does fall in line with mine, but because I haven't actually read up on most of his ideas in detail, I've just casually heard about them.
Edit: lmao I thought you meant Andrew Yang before I googled that term
