 That is a good one, but not the best. Normies believe they will fix everything during the next elections. The problem that the next election is a moving target eludes them, so does the fact that they've been on this theory for decades and it clearly does not work.

But the counterargument would be - I want to save 40% on tax today, I know for sure it is here, which is different than what might be in the future. And they're also stealing through monetary inflation.

The problem is of course they can steal 100% in the future. You don't really own the ETF, you only rent it until the slave keeper decides otherwise.
