At this point in time I’m pretty sure you would win in a landslide if you ran on taxing billionaires. Is being greedy a requirement to be a politician in the US?

If you’re not greedy, the billionaires won’t fund your campaign. Then you lose.

That would only be true if most people couldn’t think for themselves and it was possible to spend money to influence their opinion.

Whatever you were replying to.

The thing I replied to says, “That would only be true if most people couldn’t think for themselves and it was possible to spend money to influence their opinion”.

I wonder why a mod would delete that.
Show threadI_JediDec 7
I can still see it. Weird.

Probably a bug.
