This is one of the most important posts ever on this site

In America, we believe we live in a Republic

But over the last 30 years the power structure was hijacked, morphing into an NGO Oligarchy

This sounds fantastical but it’s reality

We must act now and decisively

@ninaturner So abolish property tax! The money you paid for your home is already taxed as income. Then the government taxes you over and over again every year!

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

The deal was an even playing field, not extremely tilted in the other direction.

They broke the deal.

Therefore, there is no deal.

@Jason @zarathustra5150 @realErikDPrince @grok @Sec_Noem @StephenM I’d give each illegal alien $2,500 to self-deport within 3 months, with possible future legal entry into the US. After the 3 months grace period, bring in the big guns and force deport everyone with no possibility of reenter the US ever again!

@EricLDaugh Liberal white women have a strong tendency to impose their world view onto the world. This should be the true “white privilege” to be abolished!

[DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican]

This woman is a foreign policy expert, has contributed to intellectual works, and founded a chain of salons on her spare time. Which is why she passed her Senate confirmation. You emphasize the “beauty salon” for no reason other than to conjure the stereotype of a dumb blonde — that is as sexist as it gets.

@mbaram @friedberg @elonmusk @RoKhanna @chamath So envy is the motivation! Got it!

[Stand with Elon @PiusVLepanto]

@friedberg @elonmusk @RoKhanna @chamath That’s the slippery slope our society is facing!

[Stand with Elon @PiusVLepanto]

@friedberg @elonmusk @RoKhanna @chamath The socialists want the citizens to own nothing and the state owns everything! But to those citizens who currently own nothing, it does sound appealing, especially with “free” stuff! The poor mob has a tendency to enable the very tyrants who eventually goining to enslave them!

why not just raise income tax rates?

because your real intent is not to just “provide healthcare”.

you’re masking that you are proposing the creation of, for the first time in the 250 years of this American republic, an organized government seizure of private property from citizens.

you’re calling it a “wealth tax” or a “billionaires tax” or “millionaires tax” or whatever nom du jour polls well. but at the end of the day, it’s the seizure of private property from citizens by the government. citizens that earned money, paid their fair taxes on those earnings (53% if they live in California) and are now being told they need to hand over after-tax assets because the government has failed to provide promised services with the revenue it’s collected, and are now re-casting their own failure to be a socio-economic inequity that must be justly resolved... a slippery slope that has never gone anywhere good (see economic effects in USSR, Cuba, Venezuela, France and Norway wealth tax etc.)

the American founders fled tyranny in Europe and this amazing nation was populated by immigrants (myself and your parents) from around the world not just looking for a “better life” but for a place where they could have freedom from tyrannical governments that can take what they want from private citizens. a great nation borne of property rights, the rule of law, and endowed freedoms to believe, speak, or act. these principles led to the greatest run of innovations, successes, and widespread increase in prosperity, for all citizens, ever seen.

the citizens, the individuals, not the institutions, delivered this progress. those who invented, who toiled, who bled, who sacrificed, who took risk and persevered, who led, and who changed the world, are not charlatans, kleptocrats, or oligarchs. they’re what made us all better off. prosperity is a measure of america’s success, not its failure.

it is your principle that is so offensive, as evidenced by the broad disdain for your flippant flirtation with the darkest of human fantasy - socialism. you and other neo-socialists have led so many of us to reflect on America’s history and what it is becoming. that now leads so many to consider, so unnecessarily, leaving their homes for a place where everyone stands up to shout down the principle you suggest. because if your ideas are now considered moderate, it’s clear this titanic is sinking.

that a “simple tax” of taking assets that have been earned, through toil and tribulation, rightly taxed, and preserved, should now be unjustly seized, is your solution to a problem of obvious government mismanagement and outright fraud, tells us that your true motivation lies not in giving people healthcare but in cutting down success and deleting the system of prosperity and opportunity for all.

i don’t care, and neither should anyone else, what the sum total market value of a private citizens private assets might be. it is none of my business and should be none of yours. because, again, once you open that pandora’s box, we might as well study Lord of the Flies … there is literally nothing stopping 51% of citizens demanding that their government go out and seize 100% of the private property of the 49%.

want to give healthcare to people in need? do your job and fix healthcare. make it affordable. want to be lazy about it? then do your job lazily and raise income taxes.

want to take private property from private citizens who have paid their fair share of taxes and legally earned their property, then honestly declare that it is envy, not inequity, that you strive to resolve…
