    We could literally just tax loans that are leveraged against assets and all of our problems would basically go away.

    Tax them? They have had enough time to stop being shit stains in our lives but just kept going, time to permanently get rid of them.

    The article seems to gloss over the fact that the US currently has a “government” exclusively functioning as a siphon for transferring wealth to the rich from everyone else and who is not intent on ever relinquishing power.

    Sanewashing bullshit.

    Yeah, let’s start by taxing the likes of Elon at 90%.

    Close the loophole schemes these asshats use where they pay zero taxes, too.

    If someone has supposedly a trillion on paper, there is no fucking way he earned that honorably and no way that he needs that much wealth.

    Time to end the notion of a billionaire.
