Mario. I'll compare this to the NBA.
The NBA has a luxury tax because unchecked spending lets rich teams stack the league.
A wealth tax is the same idea for billionaires.
You can win.
You can build.
You can be rich.
But when your fortune starts bending the whole system around you, society gets its cut.
@benshapiro Ever hear of a salary cap dumbass? Salary cap, luxury tax, revenue sharing...all the sports do it. Why? Because without competitive balance the system doesn't work for teams but the rich ones. Sports is a great microcosm of larger market principles.
@altcap@CAgovernor@TrumpAccounts Where were you when Cory Booker was literally running on this idea in 2019? Only difference was he called them baby bonds, not Booker bonds, after himself.
The planet's most fanatical Israel loyalists now own and control (or are about to) Paramount, CBS, TikTok, Warner Brothers, CNN: all acquired in the last two years by Netanyahu's close friend, Larry Ellison, right as public support for Israel in the US and the west collapses:
@MeghanMcCain This is why Tommy Vietor called you a bozo. You're pushing conspiracies. Nothing smells fishy. 70% of the LA electorate are Dems. Many people vote by mail and the majority of those votes are Dems. Should the laws change? Probably. System seems broken. But doesn't mean cheating.
@MaximTexier5836@JakeBrownLive You don't "lose" a trade you moron. There's no score. BOTH teams make trades for their own reasons. First off Seimen replaced McNeil,not Nimmo. You know who replaced Nimmo? EWING. He'd be in the minors if Nimmo were here. Benge in CF. So trades are more than moronic comparisons.
I unequivocally condemn misogyny and toxicity against women.
I believe in redemption.
@grahamformaine opposes the war in Iran that Collins supported.
Platner supports taxing the billionaires who Collins gave breaks to.
Platner believes in Medicare for All, while Collins believes in cutting Medicaid. @FaceTheNation
@MeghanMcCain What evidence is there that he "abused" girlfriends? One woman (a Republican operative) alleged "unsettling" behavior. I find your obnoxious behavior unsettling. So what? Are you unfit for office? What did he do? Grab her wrist once? Have any tweets about K Paxton? Of course not.
@MarioNawfal A decent number of Republicans are getting extremely tired of this stuff. To the rest of MAGA, how are you not? Ok, I'll give you the border if that's your issue—immigration (illegal and legal) are mostly halted. Ok. What else other than trolling has he done? Aren't you tired?
@FiddlesPicks Clearly on Wemby. Castle was looking for the pass but didn't get it, after a few strides Wemby looked in another direction (probably towards Vassel) so Castle looked to go up court. Wemby then made the pass after Castle had turned away. It's Wemby's team, Castle deferred to him.
The Department of Homeland Security has awarded more than $16.3 billion in contracts in the past six months — compared with $2.1 billion from 2016 to 2024.
Most of it has gone to two firms that have ties to the White House and the Republican Party. https://t.co/47WT3tNfSF
