MSNBC’s James Woods-dubbed “media gnat” Ali Velshi continues to illustrate why socialist media talking heads know as much about sound economics as flat-earthers know about astrophysics.
Velshi went on a rant against rich people and American capitalism during the August 23 edition of MSNBC’s Velshi, an irony since he has an estimated net worth of $5 million. He bellyached over a strawman notion that “America has been sold a myth” that the rich have been punished by a punitive tax system, when the “reality is economic policy hasn’t even remotely punished the elites in this country. It has simply rewarded them.”
It’s as if Velshi believes that the American economy should be actively punishing those who pay 40 percent of the nation’s taxes at a whopping 26.1 percent tax rate. Harping on a typical Marxist us vs. them dichotomy, Velshi twisted statistics completely out of context to make it seem like the middle class and poor are the victims of an unfair economy benefiting the wealthy, like we haven’t heard that argument before.
His solution? Just throw taxpayer money at everything, learning nothing from the incessant spendthrift behavior that defined the Bidenomics agenda of the past four years that caused America’s 40-year high inflation crisis.

I’m sure it will happen eventually. It’d be nice if corporations would at least treat their employees better. If they did, the employees would be thrilled the CEO made 25 million a year. And Elon probably being the first trillionaire would be exciting. But like airlines, corporations treat their employees like crap.
The pilgrims at Plymouth were socialists
, and the natives had to bail them out!
Well, this explains it:
-
“Velshi was born in Nairobi, Kenya, and raised in Toronto, Ontario, after moving there in 1971. He is an Ismaili Muslim of Gujarati Indian descent.”
Rising taxes on rich is straight from Marx’s Communist Manifesto!
Like other Communist ideas, it has been tried many times and failed all the time.
If his ratings are as low as I think they are, he’ll be out of a job before the end of the year.
He’s a Canadian citizen.
Why can’t he be deported?
“This time it’s different” says every Communist
WHO? Honestly, if it weren’t for Free Republic I wouldn’t know anybody on
MSNBC. Does this gnat even have a million viewers?
Simple solutions for this clown, go back to Canada. I am sure they will be more then happy to tax his ill gotten capitalist "plunder."
Ali Velshi is a Canadian television journalist, a senior economic and business correspondent for NBC News, and an anchor for MSNBC. He is also a substitute anchor for The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC on Friday night. Velshi is based in New York City.
