Yeah. I read the article and it would actually be a good take... if it weren't completely insincere. Higher taxes on white collar workers like me, that go directly towards supporting blue collar essential workers are a good thing.
But this is really just a plea to "make magic line go up" by taxing workers and not companies / the ruling elite. And we know the money wouldn't actually go towards essential workers. And of course they try to camouflage it all in language of "fairness" and "helping others."
Edit: To elaborate further, the general idea of the collective population helping support services that not everyone necessarily uses is a good one. We should have public transit and the full cost should not be placed on just those people who need to use it or choose to use it. But we all know Deutsche Bank gives zero shits about public transportation.
