A guy who I've known many decades said that my embrace of the far left had lowered his opinion of me a lot.

We were talking about wealth taxes, qua my earlier post about 90% tax rates. But not just income taxes, estate taxes, real estate taxes, generally speaking, asset taxes.

The billionaire class has to cease to exist. What the bootlickers defending them seem to not understand, is that this is the *nice* way to make that happen.

@fatsam I think I’m quite far into centre-right to right on this. I think we should have wealth taxes that are aimed at ensuring no one has a net worth over about $100m. I think it’s probably a better plan than the far left alternative, which involves guillotines.

@david_chisnall @fatsam Nazi Germany used the guillotine between 1933 and 1945 to execute 16,500 prisoners so not just the left.

@Darberoom1954 Modern day Nazis always claim that Nazi Germany was politically left because they named it "National-Socialism", only focusing on the last word and totally ignoring the first.
