Incredibly suspiscious post.

Sounds like we really need a wealth tax on the billionaires so they will be the ones paying for most of the welfare programs instead of the educated professionals.

You believe that the heirs of billionaires have more brilliant ideas and productivity than the general educated population? If so, I have to disagree with that.

So I guess people think you’re a closeted homosexual who fantasizes about taking dick because of poor exposition on your part?

I think the votes it would attract are already voting for him.

Then we are back at the "should we cater to the median voter or should we motivate our base to be activist" topic.

And I think for elections in an odd year, with no concurring presidential/Congressional elections, it's unfortunately wise to cater to your own base and try to make them as ferocious and vocal and active as possible. The median voter basically is staying at home anyway.

Basically the fact that they are voting in 2025 makes it a lot more plausible that being ridiculously extremist can pay off

Some countries tried. They said "**** you" and moved next door, reducing total gvmnt revenue.

What was meant to be a modest fiscal tweak has turned into an expensive lesson in capital flight. In 2022, Norway’s Labour-led government raised the wealth tax to 1.1%, hoping to boost annual revenues by $146 million. Instead, it triggered a migration of the wealthy—not just of assets, but of people.

Roughly 50 of Norway’s richest citizens packed their bags and left, including high-profile investors and founders of tech firms. Switzerland emerged as a favoured destination, thanks to its lenient tax regime and predictable fiscal policy. The net effect? A reported $594 million loss in tax revenue—four times the projected gain.

No, I believe the people who gave them the money did.

If you remove the option for hyper successful people of using their money as they see fit (including giving it to their heirs) you are expropriating THEM, the creators of value, not their heirs.

Their heirs are just lucky beneficiaries of the original value producer decision. But allowing that decision is what creates the conditions for those people to build in your country in the first place.

If you intend to sequester everything at death they ****ing move before dying.

You should remember we are talking the best people among us, the most successful and capable at living human beings. Which ofc among their skillets have the ability to select the best counsel available among humanity. That's what you are planning to go against. The best humanity produced every generation.

It's delusion to think they won't win every single time, they are literally better than us at everything and/or can pay for the best among us to go okay with their team.

No one in government is ever going to have the brain their counsel have, because in gvmnt you are capped at a ridiculously low salary and all fully rational people want money.

So you have this basically team of disabled half wit mediocre failures who couldn't be the top 1% jn the private sector going against the brightest stars in their professions. The people who bested them in college and everywhere else they competed.

And you still think you can win.

I’m not thinking that the anti-white voting base is the right voting block. They might want to smooth out racism but they usually want to do that by moving resources into black communities rather than explicitly saying they’re going to target whites.

But I also think I saw the proposal is not actually about race, it’s about the demographics in general of the community so only de facto targets them.

I feel like people would have been fine with that policy but there will be a backlash.

keep in mind that the anti white voting block in NYC is mostly whites hating themselves (or rather hating other more successful white folks).

Latinos and blacks voted Cuomo more than whites did

In other news Jack poso is casually nazi posting again

Ok I'll bite. How would that be a Nazi post?

Is just merely mentioning the Bolsheviks nazi or does it have to be done in conjunction with Maoism?

The "horrors of the bolsheviks" is a completely unveiled reference to Cultural Bolshevism

But maybe you are right. Its been 100 years, why not re live the greatest hits

If you truly "just don't get it", well, that would be strange. This type of **** should be right up your alley

Not at all.

I suspect it is because there are some folks here under demonic influence.

I’m misconstruing this to mean you are under the demonic influence of homosexual lust.

Noted.

you'll go far here 😀

Did the Bolsheviks commit any horrors?

Did the Maoists?

And I'm not too sure what cultural bolshevism is but assuming it involves banning books or something, why would you assume that "the horrors of the Bolsheviks" refers to that as opposed to say firing squads?

I have reported your continued stalking and now have you on Ignore.

I will will take your word for this man being a Nazi (I don't have the patience to research a social media pundit, especially what I suspect is a dumb one). I will also state that his Tweet is rather stupid, as I suspect plenty of schools teach this part of history.

However, if the point is that his claim about the horrors committed is wrong, then we're in dubious territory. "The Bolsheviks" typically references the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and "the Maoists" typically references the Chinese Communist Party. These parties committed some of the gravest atrocities against civilians seen in the 20th century, and one of them is still going strong and keeps millions of people in concentration camps.

I know some people who call themselves communists give these parties a pass, but that is a weird thing to do, because these parties are definitely among the political entities which has sent the most communists to an early grave.

They call lefties marxists
They say cultural Marxism is an attack on the conservative way of life
Cultural Marxism was invented by a Nazi trying to rebrand cultural Bolshevism
Cultural Bolshevism was the rallying cry Nazis used to justify persecuting the Jews
Thus, referring to the dangers of the bolsheviks and the maoists is just a roundabout way of calling the “marxists” dangerous and all this is part of the reason you have a lot more people like luciom running around foaming at the mouth about dangerous lefty marxists

Yeah I know some of that could happen, but I can't imagine that many American billionaires would want to move to Switzerland, and they would have to move their entire company as well, or the government could still get them that way. I would also be fine with just taxing the companies owned by billionaires more than other companies. And even if they moved operations elsewhere, to to sell their products in the US, they would have to pay even higher taxes. Enough so there would be no monetary benefit to moving operations abroad.

I understand even that could have long-term consequences, but so can keeping things the way they are. I really think the popular sentiment is coming hard against the billionaires, and if they don't start doing things differently either people will be elected to force them to pay, or else their lives will be in serious danger.
