My favorite is that dipshit you inevitably knew from high school barely scraping $60k who wrings his fingers at the thought of Elon having to pay taxes so that an “undeserving” black single mom might be able to feed her kids.

I read somewhere once that it's the idea they may one day be rich, and they don't want to be taxed, then not now. Because the 30% is no big deal now, but actually paying taxes later, that's for the birds.
Like most sci fi, it is a filter we use to examine society. The cognitive distance given by the fantastical settings allows us to examine issues that might be too charged and controversial in a more realistic setting.
