If there’s one thing Democrats hate hate hate, it’s those evil, greedy billionaires ruining the country for everybody else!
Just witness socialist screecher Bernie Sanders railing against them at the DNC, with a heavy-breathing speech about how we need an economy that works for everyone, something that Donald Trump — himself an evil billionaire — can’t deliver.
Except that, right after Bernie, hard-left Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker came out to brag about how rich he was — flashing his inherited wealth (about $3.5 billion worth, specifically) with a claim he’s richer than Trump.
Huh?
And it’s not like billionaires were absent on other nights, either.
Media magnate Oprah Winfrey came out to rail against Trump — and Oprah’s worth around $3 billion (though she’s self-made, unlike Pritzker).
We thought Dems were supposed to stand up for the little guy, not rep fat cats totally insulated by their wealth from the everyday problems afflicting everyday Americans.

I believe Kamala is an international socialist. Her mom was a migrant 60 years ago. Like a locust, going for the green.
The National Socialists were derided for not being internationalists.
Most socialists believe in globalism, as do the corporate fat cats.
The American globalists want global corporate dominance even if their tax rates might get raised from around 40%. Getting taxed at say 60% but getting three times as much cake is more lucrative than MAGA and 40%. Of course, Anglo-Saxon globalists think that they will run the world’s leading corporations instead of Chinese guys.
Oh really? Then who the hell was occupying all those fancy private boxes at the top of their venue?
Poor poeple?
“Oprah’s worth around $3 billion (though she’s self-made...”
Self made? 🤔
Her double minority status play a part in that ya think?
“Then they need to pony up and give half of their wealth to the government agency of their choice.”
They think their wealth can’t be taxed by the federal government or highly taxed by state governments. They think they can run off to Florida, which Team Biden is stuffing with welfare-receiving refugees.
Federal revenue sharing money might get redistributed to the states on a state wealth tax matching basis. States will have an incentive to do the dirty work of wealth taxation.
1 Timothy 6:9-10 But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction.
For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil (Lit., the evils), and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith, and pierced themselves with many a pang.
Since they spend their billions spewing hate at white people they owe every white person in American reparations.
Pay up!
“Oprah grew up in Mississippi in 1954 with a teenage mother who was by herself. She experienced cruelty and hardship as a child. She was transferred to stay with her father when she was nine, and he gave her a rigorous and orderly upbringing. Oprah was a gifted student who was admitted to a prominent school despite her difficulties.
“Oprah suffered sexual assault and was mistreated by relatives and other community members when she was fourteen years old. Oprah overcame these painful events and persisted in maintaining her academic focus. She studied communication at Tennessee State University after receiving a full scholarship.”
“At the age of 15, Winfrey secured her first paid position, which involved “taking care of Mrs. Ashberry’s wild kids,” as she describes on Oprah.com. She claims that considering Mrs. Ashberry required her to clean the house as well, she got paid poorly at 50 cents per hour.
Next, she worked at a five-and-dime and was paid $1.50 per hour. Her initial success in broadcasting came at the age of seventeen, when she was hired for a $100-a-week radio gig.”
“When Winfrey first began her TV career, she was an anchor on the news, but she would weep on the show because she could relate to the tales people told her. It seemed like a logical progression for her to become a talk-show presenter. “

Except for Prickster, Bloomberg, Zuckerberg, etc
They have safety from Obama’s and Biden’s mistakes, at least for now.
It is very easy to do a wealth tax at the federal level to satisfy the per capita direct tax requirement of the Constitution:
Mississippi monthly tax rate 3%
California monthly tax rate .85%
Mississippi monthly tax rebate 2.16%
California monthly tax rebate .0%
It would take about 30 months to get 25%.
Social Security works by taxing and rebating. Its constitutionality is beyond question.
“Yes, we can.”
They make a cute couple. And they're each Bond villain rich. Imagine if their fortunes were joined. They would rule the world. Bwah ha ha!
What really irks me is these billionaires, with their multiple mansions and private jets and limos, are telling me global climate change is my fault, that I should use less electricity, I should eat less meat, I should buy an overpriced electric car. Screw them.
It is a misnomer that the Republican party is the party of the rich.
It has been the Democrats.
Why?
Both parties are for sale. That is why it often feels like you have a uniparty.
But, it’s the Democrats that are the party that is more morally malleable, globalist, big government, and all about big spending and there are no pesky moral (Christian) or Constitutional values/concepts that stand in the way.
Claim he’s richer than Trump.
One major point Trump earned his money JB Pritzker is a member of the DEI club and brags about it.
Nothing personal, but since Ophrah is now aligned with the liar Waltz and the fraud Harris, I’m considering this bio and everything about her likewise a lie and a fraud.
