"textContent": "The WATCA bill, which is one way of taxing the rich more, will provide only\na small benefit for non-rich Americans. That's because its main method of helping them is by reducing their income tax, and poor people's income tax is already low.\n\nIn and of itself, WATCA is better than nothing, but we should focus on supporting other bills that would tax the rich more than that in order to help the non-rich more than that.",
