Trying to out-socialist Democratic frontrunner Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders has a fresh new idea: Ending billionaires.
Here's his genius tweet:
Bernie Sanders ✔ @BernieSanders
Billionaires should not exist. https://twitter.com/nytpolitics/status/1176459557473804297 NYT Politics ✔ @nytpolitics
Bernie Sanders is unveiling a proposal for a new wealth tax on the richest Americans, including a steep tax on billionaires that could greatly diminish their fortunes https://nyti.ms/2mm9QB9 44.3K 6:01 AM - Sep 24, 2019

I guess he needs his kulak class, doesn’t he?
I’m waiting on Bernie sharing his wealth with me.
Without Billionaire Plantation Masters, the modern Democratic Party would not exist
This is the epitome of mob rule.
TBH, as individuals, I have a hard time caring enough to stand up for billionaires. But as a matter of principle, this does nothing to endear me to Bernie or his ilk. This is no different than a group of thugs taking to the streets or bandits hitting the trails, and using their numbers to assault those who have something to be took.
i will agree to do away with billionaires if he will agree to do away with communists and Muslim terrorists
he wants to register rich people, so they can be tracked, and prevented from leaving the country without paying their “fair share”.
they.want.to.register.rich.people.
Equal misery for all - except the ruling class, like Bernie.
Guess I picked the wrong day to start buying lottery tickets.
Because, after all, there was just so much more social justice around the world before there were billionaires ...
Does this mean his Hollywood pals need to start paying “their fair share”?
Because, after all, there was just so much more social justice around the world before there were billionaires ...
The minute he got elected, all the money would go offshore.
Taking a $1 from one million people or taking a million dollars from one person.
It has the same effect on the economy.
Bernie wants to take a larger slice from a shrinking pie.
But, it’s okay to get rich by bashing the rich like Bernie has.
“Without Billionaire Plantation Masters, the modern Democratic Party would not exist”
Needs repeating relentlessly...
BTTT
> Billionaires should not exist <
Soon to be followed by Millionaires should not exist, and then Thousandaires should not exist. Members of the Ruling Class will, of course, be exempt from all this.
Onward the Revolution!
Equal misery for all - except the ruling class, like Bernie.

I think people too young to have experienced soviet era marxism don’t understand how a ‘ruling class’ is worse than wealthy people.
Yes, the latter tend to have more influence and get more perks from society. Sometimes, if we are honest, they buy themselves into or in with a ruling class. But at least in our system, many of them earned it, and most of them are paying out for it (despite what you hear about loopholes and such). But Marx’s Bourgeois and aristocrats cannot hold a candle to the tyranny of any system central control and their bureaucrats. You just can’t use words to teach these things. You have to have seen examples of how they control and the escalating nature of their oppression
Everyone equal in POW Amerika!
Is great Socialist future! Like Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela!
