It puzzles me why leftist parties don’t all embrace lower taxes for the middle class.
They all do. My best guess as to why you’d say this is that you’re including Democrats.

At risk of a strawman…
The shortest path to equality is to greatly reduce taxes on the middle class and increase them on the wealthy.
That’s what’s best for equality and for economic growth. Does this mean Democrats are horribly incompetent? Perhaps it’s that equality and economic growth aren’t their goals.
Considering the strains currently on the environment, finding a way forward that doesn’t require continual growth is likely a necessity for our long term survival (possibly short term too)

But, muh’ capitalism!
If it doesn’t work then we’ve killed all these socialists and communist for nothing.
(Do I need a /s here? Is it obvious? Should be obvious.)
It’s also possible they’re not from the US. There are dozens of us. Dozens!
Fuck. I’m being a self-centered American, again. I’ll do better in the future. Thanks for the help.
