Just the opposite
You're right, they need to flip the Capitalism and Socialism labels. elon's been sucking off of the government's socialist teat and keeping the spoils to himself for a long time. :D
Being wrong about a topic is called post partisanism - kalm

It will probably be difficult for MAQA yahoos to overcome the Qult programming but they should give being rational & reasonable a try.

But hey! We have Indy car races in our capital and look at that stock market! I don’t know if I can stand much more “hot” from the U.S. of A.


A top 5 reason to implement a wealth tax is related to this point below about China eating our lunch. If our super rich class was leading the world when it came to frontier industries, that would be a strong case to let them keep cooking.

Instead, their focus the past 15-20 years has been on building monopolies and moats, propping it up with ever-more-absurd financial engineering, media consolidation with the aim of stoking culture war and blunting criticism of Israel, which for some odd reason is supposed to be a national priority for us — all while falling behind China on robotics, batteries, EVs, and so on. We’re barely winning on AI if at all. They cheered as Trump effectively repealed the IRA, the biggest investment in new energy production in decades, and are now crying that there isn’t enough energy production for their AI.

If our billionaires were winners, we might consider defending them.

But our billionaires are losers, in several senses of the word, and they embarrass us on the international stage. A wealth tax will take them down a few pegs and hopefully let some winners rise up. We no longer have a meritocracy so it’s time to strip the participation medals from these monopolists.

So no, a wealth tax is not punishing you for your success. It’s punishing you for failure. Don’t like it? Stop losing.

Not sure if it was the parents or the grandparents, but they definitely got the heck out of Dodge…. Just like they’re doing in New York and California today.

Except the fled Cuba in 1956 and 1957 when Batista was in charge, 2-3 years before Castro took over. They fled a crony capitalist authoritarian regime.

Nope

Idiotic Dems who have no ideas and no policies that work and blame Trump for everything…. just like you

Thanks TDS 88 for helping put this lying clown 🤡 in office

Tell Chang to pat you on the back

Awesome! Now we just need to start doing the work to get back to being a real capitalist economy.

It’s good you’re studying up on Marco, our next president!

And now that you’re more up to speed, tell us about the time a few family members went back to Cuba and couldn’t wait to get out of there and never go back again…

Also, Marco’s extended family ran into a little trouble with the law back in the cocaine cowboy days of the 70s in Miami

Are you saving that for when he’s the president?

Marco will be dragged down by what he’s been required or chosen to do under Trump. I hope he wins the nomination.

Because he will be a weak candidate and this government needs to be swept clean of all MAGA and Trump appointees.
