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…

@jasonwhitlock Most people don’t care about race. What truly matters is whether someone believes in God and stands firmly for America’s core values—Let’s judge people by the content of their character and convictions, not the color of their skin.

Thank you to everyone supporting my song ‘Karmageddon’. As some of you might know I am now an independent artist after I lost my manager because I didn’t change the lyrics of this song, and also left my label. Your support means the world.

Georgia fan Megan Twist moved to Florida and when she got her state license, she became an organ donor.

Megan tragically died in a car accident, but her lungs saved Florida fan Richard Bremer, who tells @JenLada that he's a Georgia fan now and, “I breathe red and black.” ❤️

Crazy that CANADA's top sports network @TSN_Sports chose to show this special moment from AMERICA's junior hockey team after winning gold..but AMERICA's largest sports network @espn chose to completely ignore it on all social media platforms. Also crazy considering ESPN's rights deal with the @NHL. Unlike so many famous millionaire athletes who complain about this country but gladly take the 💰💰... it's SO refreshing to see such pride from these young men!!!! 🇺🇸

Good Goes Forward.

What started as a small collection effort at our St. Matthews location of helping to raise funds for Officer Wilt in Louisville beautifully unfolded into Wilt Week.

[John Calipari @CoachCalArk]

A group of businesses are hosting “Wilt Week” Aug 2nd-5th, in honor of Officer Nick Wilt who was injured in the Old National Bank shooting. All proceeds from the events will be gifted to Officer Wilt to help with medical bills on his road to recovery.

I along with @KentuckyMBB are stepping up to support this amazing effort. I'd like to challenge my friend @coachkennypayne and @LouisvilleMBB to join us as we come together as one to support Office Wilts inspiring recovery. 

Donate now!

This is beautiful… Salute to both men.

This is what our world should. This moved me.

[Ryan Clark @Realrclark25]

Forgiving someone isn’t about releasing them. It’s about releasing ourselves. Holding on to the hurt paralyzes us, & locks in the breaks on each wheel. It’s not an easy thing to do, but it’s necessary for our healing.
