One of the top honchos with the Democratic Socialist of America struggled to explain what “taxing the rich” meant and appeared clueless about the Clinton era landmark Israeli Palestinian peace effort, during an embarrassing radio interview with The New Yorker Friday.
Megan Romer, one of the two national co-chairs of the organization, seemed bewildered by a question from the magazine’s editor David Remnick about one of the DSA’s signature positions.
“Well, what does ‘taxing the hell out of them’ mean?’” Remnick asked on the episode of The New Yorker Radio Hour titled “How Socialist Is the DSA? Megan Romer Explains“.
“Uh, yeah, you know, again, I don’t have like a solid…” Romer awkwardly chuckled.
“But shouldn’t you?” Remnick pressed. “If you’re the co-chair of the DSA, shouldn’t you be more specific than ‘taxing the hell’ out of something? What exactly do you mean?”
“Um, that’s a good question,” Romer said, her eyes widened in shock that someone would challenge her beyond the catchy slogan that was often used by Mayor Mamdani during his campaign.

Tax the DSA and its adherents to the Poor House.
This privlidged woman is stupid and easily malleable. George Orwell understood that it was always the young women who were the most avid, enthusiatic supporters and believers of totalitarian, oppressive nonsense. Doubt many young people read “1984” or “Animal Farm” these days.
“Don’t want to rely on existence of millionaires”. Well, those are the people who create the most jobs so unless you are going to live in your parent’s basement as an adult you made want to cozy up to a few millionaires. These DSA idiots are insane and anyone who votes for them needs to be institutionalized.
If they do, they think it is an instruction manual, not a cautionary tale.
The young today would be much happier reading “Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley...
People are conceived in artificial wombs, removing gender from the equation, born in predetermined casts and then everyone is pacified by recreational pharmaceuticals.
Come to think of it, Brave New World is closer to reality than most people realize.
Up next: Explaining what “shooting the rich” means.
It’s all in the commie playbook.

Perfect.
