Oligarchs should be happy we only want to tax them..

@stux

We WANT to guillotine them, but we'll SETTLE for taxing them.

#TaxBillionaires

@rgulick Agreed

@stux @rgulick

Be aware of "easy solutions".

The French Revolution bought Europe decades of warfare by a military junta under Napoleon.

The Russian Revolution bought the Russian Empire over a century of corrupt rule under fake communists.

The collapse of the Weimar Republic bought 13 years of genocide & dictatorship under the Nazis. 90 million died in WW2.

Constitutional reform is still within reach. It's more sustainable & lasting.

Oligarchs want the nihilistic revolutionary destruction

@Npars01
Hopefully, when we inevitably have a big angry revolution, we learn from the past and reform democracy into a system that actually holds leaders accountable for their crimes and is able to boot them out of power with a simple dissaproval vote or something (this is me oversimplifying I don't know jack shit about how this stuff works)
