Still not socialism. It’s oligarchy mixed with a little kleptocracy under the guise of capitalism. Maybe Bill is blaming the wrong people? Maybe Bill needs a better accountant and tax attorney? This doesn’t even touch the issues with corporate taxation.

The top one per cent owns more wealth than the bottom 93%.

the average American worker is making almost $20 a week less today than he or she did 53 years ago, after adjusting for inflation.

According to the Rand Corporation, over the last 50 years, $79tn in wealth has been redistributed from the bottom 90% to the top 1%. Almost all of the gains in worker productivity have gone to the top.

In 2006, Warren Buffett memorably said: “There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.”

Mr Buffett went on to say that he, a multibillionaire, pays a lower tax rate than his secretary. What Buffett said was true 20 years ago. It is even more accurate today.

In America today, billionaires now pay a lower effective tax rate than the average worker. Elon Musk paid an effective tax rate of less than 3.3%, while the average truck driver paid 8.4%. Jeff Bezos, now worth $223bn, paid an effective tax rate of less than 1%, while the average firefighter paid 8.7%.

Michael Bloomberg, worth $109bn, paid an effective tax rate of just 1.3%, while the average registered nurse paid 13.3%.

And Warren Buffett? His tax rate was just 0.1%, while the average schoolteacher paid 9.8%.

If you don’t sell, it’s not taxable!

We’re not talking about their taxable income where they pay the highest rates

They give a lot to charity

Google co-founder Sergey Brin slammed the proposed billionaire tax in California, likening it to the socialism that he fled with his family from the former Soviet Union.

Brin is one of the billionaires who relocated out of the Golden State to avoid the potential wealth tax that's expected to appear on California voters' ballots this fall. The proposal would impose a one-time 5% tax on residents whose net worth exceeds $1 billion.

"I fled socialism with my family in 1979 and know the devastating, oppressive society it created in the Soviet Union. I don't want California to end up in the same place," Brin said in a statement to The New York Times regarding a story by the outlet that discussed his move.

Katie Wilson, Seattle’s new self-proclaimed socialist mayor, sparked a social media firestorm after she gave her take on reports that millionaires are fleeing Washington state due to taxes and various far-left policies.

While speaking at a forum at Seattle University earlier this month, the new Democratic mayor said, "I think the claims that millionaires are going to leave our state are like super overblown.

And the ones that leave, like, bye," she continued, waving her hand and laughing. Though the line drew laughs and applause from those in the auditorium, it did not go over as well online, as conservatives quickly blasted the new Seattle mayor.

"What do socialists think happens when the most productive, highest revenue driving members of their tax base leave their jurisdictions?" Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts posted on X.

"Socialists are driven by hate for the rich, not concern for the poor," Manhattan Institute scholar Daniel Di Martino posted on X.

"This is the reaction of a spoiled child whose parents paid her bills up until the point that she became mayor… She has no grasp of reality or economics," comedian Tim Young posted on X. "Seattle is extra cooked."

The professional class of engineers and other professionals in aggregate contributes far more tax revenue than a small number of uber-wealthy executives.

As far as corporate revenue generation: a relatively small number of high-leverage decision-makers (founders, key executives, star engineers) disproportionately drive outcomes — but many of those "superstar" contributors are senior engineers and product leads, not just C-suite executives.

During the Biden admin Spirit Airlines and Jet Blue were set to merge. Spirit said if they didn’t would go bankrupt. Biden admin and then Sec of Trans Buttajudge said we don’t believe you’ll have to go bankrupt if you don’t merge, anti competitive blah blah, and sued to block the merger. They got an 80 yr old donk appointed judge to agree that he didn’t believe Spirit will have to go bankrupt if they don’t merge with Jet Blue, anti competitive blah blah, and ruled to block the merger. And shortly after that ruling Spirit…..goes into bankruptcy, and are now in it for a 2nd time.
-So now will be stuck at 4 major airlines (UA, DL, AA, WN) instead of adding a 5h, which would have been good for the consumer.
-Shareholders, most of whom were middle class via 401Ks, pension funds, ETC got screwed.
-Likely going to cost thousands of jobs.

So Spirit going into bankruptcy PROVES that Buttajudge, Biden, and the donk judge were wrong, and the merger shouldn’t have been blocked. But somehow this is Trump’s fault.

Katie the socialist flower of Seattle wilts on air after struggling to answer a basic question

Wilson awkwardly exited the interview with Seattle’s TV station KOMO after being asked about the role of surveillance cameras amid rising gun violence in the city.

"That's obviously been an issue that you weighed in on. Does that change it? Does that change your perspective at all?" the reporter asked.

As the question was posed, the mayor began to break eye contact and glance at what appeared to be her press staffers off camera, who can be heard telling the reporter to "keep it on topic."


"So we," Wilson said, beginning to answer the question before being pulled away by her press handler.

"Your job is to ask questions, it’s our job to figure out which questions we want to answer," another Wilson staffer said.

Things that don’t age well. An example of why the govt shouldn’t be in the business of blocking mergers that only effect a fraction of an industry. It’s actually 17k jobs lost. Thanks Pocahontas you moron.

in cash to buy Spirit in 2022. Shareholders, flight attendants union, literally everyone voted yes.

The combined company would have held 9% of the US market against a Big 4 that already owned 80%.

For anyone who understands numbers: 9% isn’t a monopoly against 80%.

Warren said no.

She wrote letters. She pressured Buttigieg. Biden’s DOJ sued. A federal judge killed the deal in January 2024.

Her argument: the merger would cost consumers $1 billion a year.

Now look at her collateral damage she dusts under the rug.

510 pilots gone in the months after. 1,800 flight attendants furloughed in December.

14,000 jobs in 2023. 7,500 last week. Zero tonight.

And that’s just the people in Spirit uniforms.

Catering goes. Fuel guys go. Baggage crews, gate agents, airport coffee shops, hotels and rental cars in 70 cities Spirit flew to. Every airline job carries 3 more on its back.

40,000 people out of work because of one woman’s moronic crusade against the market.

And the math ain’t mathing.

Spirit abandoned 90 routes during the death spiral. Fares on those routes are up 14% on average. Oakland to Newark: $135 to $288. Fort Myers to San Juan: $92 to $219. Kansas City to Newark up 66%.

That’s reality. Not some BS number from a “study.”

So
@SenWarren
tell me how this saves the consumer money?

Cheap carriers in a market drop fares 21% across the board. Southwest did this in the 90s and saved Americans $68 BILLION over 20 years.

Warren killed it. That’s what moronic politicians led by socialism do.

Then with her own blind arrogance, she tweeted Spirit’s collapse is “a Biden win for flyers.”

A win.

14,000 people are reading termination letters tonight.

And she’s taking credit.

This is socialism in 2026.

A senator who’s never made payroll thinks she knows how to run a market better than the people who own and work in the company.

She saved you a billion on imaginary paper.

She cost you ten times that in real life.

She didn’t protect consumers from anything.

14,000+ will go from working to welfare.

She will make sure to blame billionaires, hardworking tax payers, AI, capitalism and whatever monster they will make up tomorrow hiding under your bed.

Higher taxes. Fewer jobs. More expensive everything.

She called it a win. I hope you enjoy winning.
