    Nobody on the left gives a flying fuck about “taxing the rich.”

    That’s a purely liberal pretend-solution.

      you’re getting downvoted because there’s too many stupid people here who think the orphan crushing machine is acceptable so long as the government gets a cut and the rich get a chance to hide their wealth in offshore accounts.

        Liberal propagandists love this whole “tax the rich” horseshit because they, like the billionaire parasites they truly represent, know perfectly well that taxing them a slight bit more (which would be a best case scenario) poses absolutely zero threat to their private ownership over the means of production.

        You don’t beat billionaire parasites through taxation - you beat them through public infrastructure.

        So you think we should go back to crushing the orphans by hand then? I suppose you’ll volunteer? Have you ever actually seen one of them crushed? All the squirming? The screams?

        What the hell is wrong with you?

      right, it would just end up in the hands of weapon manufacturers anyway, doesn’t matter how much we tax anyone, the simple fact is it wont make it to anyone who needs it

      You can tell this is a leftist community because 1/4 of the time there’s someone in the comments calling half of leftist ideologies libs, based solely on the fact that they kinda don’t like them.
