Don't tax the rich. Take more extreme measures.
Join your local communist party and join the revolution to overthrow these fucks and seize their fortune by force.
This is u ironically why the rich should support a wealth tax.
Yeah because Communism worked so well for Russia, China, North Korea, etc. Communism is NEVER the answer, since it will ALWAYS get abused.
If I burn your house down, is that evidence your house "didn't work" and should never have been built in the first place?
Apparently worked better than the alternative . . .
Saying communism isn't the answer since it will get abused, when your alternative is capitalism, is like saying dating someone in recovery is a bad idea, and that's why you only look for abusive people who are currently drunk.
So much apples in 1997?
"If we tax billionaires they'll leave!" in a box? lol
Hopefully. A wooden box. The kind that gets buried 6 feet under.
Folks, please don’t polarize because some rando on social media tells you to. We live in an increasingly polarizing world. I’m with you on taxing the rich and holding them accountable and distributing incomes more fairly again but PLEASE know you can be centrist AND make the change you want to see. Following identity politics in the far right or far left part of the spectrum isn’t the answer but mobilizing peope from the entire spectrum to stand up and build a resistance TOGETHER is. Don’t cut out that many people from your movements because then you’re only fewer. You lack persuasion in numbers, and for these things we need masses. Maybe I may remember you of the “let them eat cake” lady. Different times of course but you get my point
Centrism is the enabler of fascism.
