The WSJ one was bonkers. The finance person quoted clearly couldn’t understand socialism if they tried.
A painting in the style of Socialist Realism shows a passionate Russian soldier from the 1917 Revolution, dressed in a green military uniform with a red star on his cap, shouting with his arm outstretched. A speech bubble reads, “Let’s try a 2% tax on net worth over $100 million.” Behind him, a crowd of similarly dressed revolutionaries marches forward holding red flags, with smoke and classical architecture in the background. The image humorously contrasts the mildness of the tax proposal with the revolutionary setting.
