In Arwa Mahdawi's essay entitled Pity the Poor Billionaires — Demands for Higher Taxes Must Feel Hurtful (May 2026), why does Mahdawi say the rich are unable to understand the unsustainability of widening economic divides? Do you think most informed Americans would agree with Mahwadi that the rich are politically tone deaf when they complain about higher tax rates for the ultra-wealthy? Provide examples from any of your reading, your conversations with other Americans or your experience to support your evaluation of the author's assertion.
