Can the ultra-wealthy fight for a wealth tax in earnest? Is it possible to believe in universal pre-k and still send your kids to the best private schools? Or is it all just political fence-sitting?
Let's think about it—the idea of "champagne socialism," or the specific brand of progressive politics popular among the very rich and very famous. Inspired by Emily Ratajkowski's debut essay collection, My Body, this is a video about dismantling perceived hypocrisy...and fighting the system from the inside.
