This is a 2 minute video about taxing the wealthy.
There is no mention of programs it will fund. Or why the tax dollars are needed. Or what the money would be used for. Or how those less fortunate could be supported to themselves become wealthy.
The benefits are no longer the point.
The implicit message is about punishment. Punishing those doing well is now good politics.
Sign of the times —
@craptor@haralabob Wrong. Endless QE since 08 is the heart of the issue. Non-asset owners have been left behind massively as they have debased the USD endlessly.
@dareeexc@NoLimitGains I don’t think you understand. I don’t take profit and trigger capital gains. More importantly, they’re running this economy hot with an endless deficit. You need to be invested to beat USD debasement.
