    That’s what happens when you let people accumulate too much capital.

    Capital = power

    Should be a 100% wealth tax rate beyond a few hundred million. No individual should have billions of dollars in unelected, unaccountable power. And no one earns those kind of sums either.

    Not like the truth matters though. Oligarchs like Musk own this fucking place and both patties have spent half a century dismantling any possible means of reigning in their power over our government, our media, and us.
