This is all a show.

They get all the money they want by simply printing it. That effectively taxes every dollar, no matter who owns it.

Yes, some assets will appreciate....and they have many ways of getting at that through things like estate taxes.

Thus the idea of cryptocurrency was born.

They want to steal that too, Biden's proposal to spy on bank transactions would help them to do that

Strictly speaking, that would be the 16th.

The 17th regards direct election of senators.

Blame spellcheck. ;-)

Tax Mr. Tyson 100%. Take everything. Americans starve due to no chicken.

Tax the Waltons 100%. Take everything. Durable goods, sundries, and fuel disappear. People Die.

Tax JB Hunt..trucker. Take everything. Things start to break down. People die.

Tax BilL Gates. Sorry companies, no more support for your business on top of starving, no gas, no Christmas, no goods, no fuel....

Tax Jaime Dimon 100%. Take everything. Watch the financial sector crumble to nothing. It would be a 20 year great depression and resemble Stalin's terror from the 20s to the 30s.

Yeah, good thinking fake Potus.

The point is how he got that net worth. Definitely not by honest investing and hard work, but by graft. Having got it by graft, and not being very bright himself, he probably has little or no idea about how legally acquired wealth appreciates and how important it is to both individuals and the country to leave it alone to grow. Thus, he approves stealing it from those of us who have legally acquired it.

Well, how about Scrooge McDuck?

And his Money Bin.

Not only was he sitting on a pile of cash, he rowed his rowboat across those piles.

This thread is the first I’ve heard of Scrooge McDuck.
It’s a cartoon or something, right?

I suspect most of the Democrat mindset regarding economics
has to be based on a cartoon.

DuckDuck some Scrooge McDuck images.

Some are inside his Money Bin.

And yes, this is where Democrats get their ideas of ‘Rich’ folks.

They’ll never actually do it, because the rich are their biggest supporters.

You mean the way they stood tall in their old and tattered rags and beat down the idea of Obamacare?

You mean the way that they waged fierce battle against the weaponizing of tax info, a la Lois Lerner?

You mean they stood together so bravely to keep the Keystone Pipeline functioning, and all the thousands of jobs on the line?

You mean the way they ran hard and fast from the possibility of impeaching President Trump, which was ridiculous from the outside, yet dogged him for months and years, because the rich and hateful didn't want to wound the great man?

Sure. They'll never do it. They'll take on their biggest supporters, crush them, and direct their concern at average, decent, God- and Flag-loving Americans?

Thanks. I feel so much better.
