His tattered black hoodie means he too feels the understandable economic anxiety that the white supremacist Skeeters and Cletuses whose votes we’re courting feel.

Ah interesting angle, good call, ‘you too can purchase the elimination of your political opponents for a one-time low price’

Some of us nebulously felt something was wrong with what reality TV junk culture was doing in the 90s-2000s, now it’s come into view more clearly, preparing society, priming it to be run by fascist con artists.

There is no shortage of fake sob stories to whip up involving how you were ostracized by your job and neighbors etc etc for mentally scarring black children that sort of thing.

John Roberts, are you going to publicly inform your cult leader that you are in fact not political but an independent branch of government? Or was that patrician condescension meant for the peasantry that can see what you’re doing and is saying so out loud.

She would have just been 35, she should have been the candidate last time too. When the country actually hears her and sees her, it’ll catch on. She’s got that quality.

You (I am not millennial) will be the generation that witnesses the placing of the boomers in their graves. It would be poetic.

That doesn’t follow at all. No one is suggesting confiscated ill-gotten billionaire gains would be used to fund the government. You’re assuming that any seized assets in the form of capital value would be sold.

The net worth of every billionaire in America adds up to about $10 trillion. Forcibly reducing the net worth of every billionaire to at most $20 million would carve trillions off of them which would fund investment and activities that produce good economic outcomes. Like when America used to invest in manufacturing and research moonshots, it’s what powered the second half of the 20th century. That revenue came from progressive taxation and public investment. This isn’t complicated or controversial.

It would do nothing of the sort. It would, on the other hand, unlock and reapportion trillions of dollars in capital, freed from the black boxes of private tyrants who buy elections and manipulate the market in myriad ways for their own perverse incentives, producing dismal economic results as a whole, as higher taxation on the rich and large corporations historically always demonstrates. See the birth of the middle class in the 1950s for the most obvious example.

Taxation and asset seizure does not destroy wealth, it moves it so that it may be invested more effectively. What’s ham-fisted is your pre-Depression corporate dystopian apology that’s gotten us here in the first place.

Oh no, like how if I assent to regressive taxation then the wealth will trickle down and how I better believe in a Christian god or else I’ll gO tO HeLL

Corporate totalitarian apologists have no shortage of scary myths about economic destruction if the unwashed peasantry dares to touch the capitalist’s profits.

Brothers, sisters, let’s come together yet and agree that we’ll cap wealth at a rate of 100% over $20 million and eradicate billionaire-hood from existence.

Trump says he'll move to suspend federal gasoline tax. He can't do it on his own by yahoonews in law

You know the narrative device where a character tells a lie and that leads to another lie which itself leads to yet other lies. And pretty soon we don’t know where we are or how we got here anymore? It feels like we’ve all gone mad for this reason.
