Sounds promising, except the “wealthy” he’s considering are probably in the 80k-250k bracket lol
Unless they’re targeting multimillionaires+, it’s not gonna work. The other half of this is that there needs to be an open and transparent process for keeping tracking of how taxes are spent
Edit but since it’s a bunch of kleptocrats in govt now, what to think of that? I guess rich progressives/dems/libs better make sure they’re using the same loop holes to conserve wealth that the conservatives will, otherwise it’s just playing a game rigged to kill you.
I like how you frame your pov, it’s convincing. Esp. this part,
The problem with this is that society doesn’t get to choose where his money went, he did.
I agree, and I’ve always been about higher taxes on the wealthy. The point in original point was more that the left needs effective, goal-directed leadership. Not martyrs or short-term solutions.
I don’t think she’s mad about the funko pops per se, it may be more she doesn’t think you have any serious life or relationship goals. Did you try couples therapy? She needs to be able to voice out her concerns in a mature manner if she values having a relationship with you. People have all sorts of hobbies, yours is pretty tame tbh, so I think her reaction and inflexibility on this is more about something else, likely her perception that you lack long term goals. But that’s just internet stranger guesswork! Get couples therapy.
Okay fair points, perhaps! But I think literally two days ago there was front page post about a billionaire who gave away his fortune and died with something like 200M. I mean, if he made sure his money was being spent wisely then he did a net good for humanity.
Secondly, I don’t mean to antagonize with these posts, so if anyone’s feelings were hurt, I feel bad.
They took a risk because the economy was already good
