Bernie Sanders and Ro Khanna propose bill to impose wealth tax on billionaires

It is nice to read about these things but even sadder knowing there is very little chance of it happening.

It would’ve been nice if this happened BEFORE the rise of oligarchy globally. Ugh…

If this happens, those billionaires will have fire some of the Congressmen and Senators on their payroll.

It’s for the best. I don’t think a probate court has ever adjudicated who inherits the Congressman when a billionaire dies.

No polliie is gonna bite the hand that bribes them.

The percentage of sociopaths involved with creating a society should never be greater than zero.

Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

Finally, the state doesn’t need these taxes to fund itself, and maintaining that specious link artificially inflates the legitimacy of resource hoarding.

🥱 Wake me up whenever it is codified and in practice.
