Never before in the annals of human history have so few stolen so much from so many.

used to be that fear of the numerous peons and peasants kept the effective tax rates low in the medieval world...

Don’t know if the following is relevant but whose income taxes are financing our federal government?

The top 50% of returns pay 96.9% of income taxes.
The top 10% of returns pay 70.8% of income taxes.

Go here to see more of this data:

If we ever encounter the food shortages as predicted, we had better rise up and give the “elites” so much more than we deserve. If we don’t, we aren’t worth saving. “So much more” means to make their deaths long and painful - accompanied by playing rap/hop-hop “music” to them at 120 dB.

This problem is more threatening to the wealthy than most of them understand.

The middle class is a buffer between them and the ghetto.

Without a substantial middle class the wealthy are stuck in gated communities like a bird in a golden cage.

Just take a look at most American cities now and this point is painfully obvious.

Somehow under Trump, (the champion for the rich according to media). The gap between the poor, the middle class and the rich narrowed.
Under Brandon, the champion of the poor, the gap opened widely.

Just an accident?

You have to destroy the middle class before they will accept communism.

Singers: Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore, riding through the land.
Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore, without a merry band.
He steals from the poor and he gives to the rich.
Stupid bitch!

Dennis: What was that?

Singers: We sang: "He steals from the poor and he gives to the rich."

Dennis: Wait a tic...blimey, this redistribution of wealth is trickier than I thought.

Robin Hood didn’t steal from the rich to give to the poor. He “stole” tax dollars from the collectors and gave them back.

he is said to have stolen from the rich to give to the poor.

The book I read said that Robin Hood robbed the government, not the rich to give to the poor.
