Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

Where I live, in Washington state, there isn’t an income tax however, finally they’re implementing one on people making over 1M/yr. There were people out protesting that definitely don’t make 1M/yr. It’s wild.

I am sincerely curious why anyone who has never & will never earn a million dollars per year, why would they be out on the streets protesting against taxing those who do. Maybe they participate in every protest because they’re always down to party in the streets regardless of the occasion.

Nah, I think their main logic is the slippery slope fallacy, it might be them next! They also probably are just against all taxes all the time which, if you think about that for a singular second, how the fuck would they drive their lifted pickup to a protest against taxation if there were no tax dollars to build roads?
