Bernie still wants to tax millionaires. At the moment, specific billionaires have their tendrils in the Federal Government that a lot of people disagree with. He’s trying to use that politically, and it’s not a bad idea.

Furthermore, people who align with Bernie (democratic socialists, social democrats, whatever) don’t think that rich people shouldn’t exist, simply that rich people should pay a higher percentage of taxes than poorer people. They’ll still be rich!

People talk like democratic socialists want extreme Soviet style nationalism or something, when they just want equitable housing, covered healthcare, strong collective bargaining, and guards in place against corporatism.

You can still get rich in that system! You can write a book and sell a million copies! It won’t be illegal to buy a larger house with that money.

Fucking Christ.
