“What are you secretly passionate about?

“Egalitarianism. I hate the rich people of this world – of which I’m one, because of Life of Pi. Our world is being destroyed by greed & wealth. You have all these oil companies defending fossil fuels, forgetting about children because they want money. There’s all these people with money and a complete disregard for others. I don’t think we should tolerate wealth beyond a certain point; who actually needs a billion dollars? We should impoverish the super-wealthy & raise everyone; give everyone a fair chance right from the start, and nurture them. Then we’ll all be better off.”

"The governor understands that there is an organized base and an organized majority in New York City that wants to make millionaires and corporations pay what they owe."

Zohran Mamdani and the Left Made Kathy Hochul Tax the Rich

In New York City, a tax on superexpensive second homes is a victory for Zohran Mamdani and the socialist movement and should mark the beginning of a larger project of redistribution.

This will be the 18th time in two months reform candidates/ MP’s / party members have been caught posting racist comments ……..it’s almost like there’s a pattern, it’s like there’s some reason for this….,

Und wenn man die Entscheider auf solche Fehlentwicklungen und somit Fehlentscheidungen hinweist, dann versuchen sie bei vollständiger Ahnungslosigkeit 'ein' Gesicht zu wahren. 🙄

Es stellt sich keiner him und sagt:
'Na, das war unsere Absicht!' oder
'Aah, das haben wir übersehen! Da müssen wir noch nachbessern. Danke für den Hinweis!'

Stattdessen kommen die jahrzehntealten, abgedroschenen Scheinargumente! 🤮

#Politik #Reformen #TaxTheRich

Es ist ermutigend, dass heute allein in Hamburg 15.000 Menschen gegen die Politik von Wirtschaftsministerin Katharina Reiche auf der Straße waren.

Jetzt heißt es, dran bleiben, den Protest gegen die unsoziale Politik auf die Straße tragen - nächste Gelegenheit:

die DGB Demos am 1. Mai.

Treffpunkt in Hamburg um 10:30 Uhr an der S-Bahn Ottensen, von dort Demo zur Kundgebung um 12 Uhr am Fischmarkt.

Sehen wir uns?

“The Left will continue to demand more redistribution and revenue — income and corporate taxes. Hochul continues to insist she won’t do any of that. On the other hand, she also said that she absolutely would not tax the rich, and that anyone demanding she do it was actually cementing her resolve not to. That turned out to be false.”
