The dirty little secret is that the “rich “ will be fine. Taking advantage of all the tax havens. Everyone else will pick up the slack on our back.

envy + resentment against achievement + force and control + parasitism and desire to gain the unearned and undeserved = tax the rich

We are the rich! We have millions of millionaires today. So what if 1,000,000 only buys what 100K did in 1960 we are millionaires. Soon we will become Billionaires like Zimbabwe if we keep it up.

“”Of course, there were wrong things that the hippie generation rejected, such as our increasingly pointless presence in Vietnam.””

For Kennedy, after the Cuban Missle Crisis, the idea of moving the focus of the Cold War to Southeast Asia seemed like a good idea and it probably was. Was it get executed well, No - it was run by the same people who instituted the Great Society.

Many rich people have low incomes and tremendous wealth.

That’s why retards are always pointing to Warren Buffett. “He makes less than his secretary.” Retards…

All of the goals of social justice warriors and liberals lead directly to full blown communism, so yes, all of their ideas are bad.

The rich being anyone who uses natural gas, electricity, heating oil. This is called a Methane Tax to halt planetary warming. All of us face a 12% increase in each of those areas - on top of the corporate tax increases which the Utility companies will pass on to the ‘rich’. So pretty much forget about leaving the porch light on, AC in the summer and heat in the winter.

Invest in candles made from pig fat. We’re gonna need a lot of them

Ten Years After lyrics in this song?

Stupid song. Oh, with a dash of homophobia as well with their comment about dykes and fairys, tell me where is sanity. It would never get air time today. LOL!

It is physically impossible to have equality.

The weather in Los Angeles is better than that of Utica, New York.

We all can’t have a beach house like Joe’s.

I don’t think Western Electric II or Sears II are worth over one trillion dollars each and I would not be interested in buying their shares if the government were to confiscate them in any manner.

“Without the rich there wouldn’t be jobs.”

The British building societies functioned quite well without rich people.

Members would deposit funds regularly. This proved their ability to make large regular payments and provided funds to be lent out.

Dear AOC:

Your Congressional salary and mine will be the national median salary amount.

It’s not about equality and nobody expects everyone to have a beach house.

The reason socialism is becoming more fashionable is that most young people now can barely afford basic food and a roof over their head when they play by the rules. The system is clearly broken and all they are told by the establishment is “work harder”.

When I grew up my parents worked as a waitress and taxi driver and could afford our own basic home and family vacations. Today the economic reality is far from that and people are rightfully demanding some kind of change

That’s why retards are always pointing to Warren Buffett. “He makes less than [sic] his secretary.” Retards…

I'd be more carefull with the name calling if I were you (glass houses and all). You didn't get the Buffett quote right, either; it's "...that he pays a lower % of his income than his secretary." Is that evidence of retardation, too?

Easy to confirm; Google: "The top reason that Warren Buffett pays less tax as a percent than his secretary is because he is being taxed primarily on capital gains income as an investor versus his secretary, who is taxed on a salary or earned income as an employee."
