There are billionaires in the DNC, and billionaires who back them. Maybe not as many, but still enough that taxing the rich has never gained any traction even under democratic governments. Billionaires fear nothing in DC, they have proven over and over again they can buy pretty much whoever they need to.
There are no sitting billionaire DNC lawmakers. It is literal party platform, in writing, to tax the rich. Biden increased audits on the rich, made a minimum effective taxrate for the rich, and It was Kamala Harris' campaign promise to make an unrealized gains tax on amounts over a million dollars, which are assets used by billionaires as loan collateral to avoid taxes for their entire life.
If you were a billionaire, you would be 2.5x more likely to back the GOP than the DNC, and you would likely have a spot reserved in the front or on stage during a GOP inauguration.
Look at Me, I'm Just Jack! I'm helping the billionaires confuse the working class into voting against their own interests!
Weird. Now I get why every time I read Wikipedia I taste leather. Simply engaging in facts is lIcKinG bOoTs.
Could easily be said without using a slur.
Fair, the comment was deleted by moderators a few hours ago and I have no protest about that decision.
