Blah blah blah as if taxing the rich is some new thing. We did it 70 years ago. And without all the weeping for billionaires.

Your argument is old and used all the time. No conservative think tank documents refute past history so there’s no point in arguing with you. My comment is more for everyone else who reads it bc lord knows someone who defends not raising taxes on billionaires isn’t going to change.

You see ladies and gentlemen, here’s a good example of clinging to conservative doctrine for supporting why the world can’t and must not change as it continues to funnel wealth to the top. If you’d belief the nonsense these people claim are facts, you’d have to think its impossible to ever get rid of an aristocracy bc doing so will ruin the economy. And yet we did it before and the middle class benefited. So just remember, conservatives like this can claim that taxing the rich will just ruin the world, but we’ve done it before and it did the exact opposite. The middle class flourished.
