Exactly so. And another good example of why people who advocate for an activist Federal govt doing things for people should learn how money works.
the point of a billionaire tax is not to raise money on an ongoing basis. it is to make being a billionaire illegal
It will not work, and is wrong in principle

People can say it’s utopian or dreamy but it’s a fact that you have to believe new things are possible, fundamentally, in order to make them real. You have to make the choice to believe that more than this is possible & not be resigned to this being the way things have to be because it’s not at all.

I just wish there was a party that represented what should be an extremely anodyne point of view. Every scare story about THA BORDER!!1! for generations, told by all sides of the omniparty, is bullshit fuel for cops & control. But who will say it?

Southern "honor culture" has always been a morally degenerate pile of shit. The greatest mistake this country ever made was not following up the Civil War by imprisoning the South's leaders, confiscating & distributing their property, & building something decent in their place.
"the elite of the antebellum South were degenerate gamblers who financed their lifestyles with industrialized rape and would kill you for pointing this out" is a straightforwardly accurate statement
