Socialists are either people who don't work (students, single mothers) or people who can easily afford the taxes (rich boomers)

Not really. Many of them are part of qult and the donald.
There is this misconception that rich people who can easily afford the taxes would be fine with high taxes. Not really. It depends on the people. There are billionaires who would rather pay no tax than pay some tax. That's why tax evasion is a thing.
When it comes to the wealthy, political decision is really based on ideology mostly. Of course if the said rich guy is a fag (say, tim cook) then he would vote left along with other degenerates. This is why "universal suffrage" is stupid, because we let mentally ill people have voices in deciding our policies.
