  • Listen the IRS has routinely made clear that every time it’s forensic accountants get to sink their teeth into a billionaires financials, the return on that effort is enormous. Don’t ask “how are going to tax billionaires,” first demand that they actually BE taxed.

    We’ll figure it out later, man. Realistically, just have a team of specialists that focuses solely on the ultra-wealthy, and then let “unrealized gains” be taxed if they were ever used as collateral for a loan.





  • The more people that vote, the more people vote democrat. republicans are doing literally everything they can to disenfranchise voters, because it’s the only way they can win elections. I mean, they stole the last presidential election after failing to do it the previous time. I’m not so sure we’ll have an election in 2028, the pipeline of “sending untrained militia into the streets hoping to spark an incident that allows them an excuse to invoke martial law and cancel elections” is running very smoothly.










  • Their worldview quite literally stems from the idea that there should be Out-Groups whom the law binds but does not protect, and In-Groups whom the law protects but does not bind.

    That’s how they square their “don’t tread on me” attitude with their want of big government. They recognize that in order to properly humiliate and subjugate “the others,” they need a big state militarized police force and constant surveillance, but if they were ever themselves to fall victim to it, then they cry foul. They can’t learn the lesson until they’re caught up in it, and usually instead of updating their opinion and voting like it, they simply drop out of the democratic process all together, saying that “both parties are the same.”

    They are the uneducated simpletons that the founding fathers feared, which is why they originally wanted only educated people to vote. I’m, uh, starting to come around to the idea myself.
