“Your name is not Brian Griffin, it is Karl Marx. Take your communist suggestion and shove it up your ass.”

Karl’s suggestion, plank 2 of the Communist Manifesto, was for a progressive income tax, which his loyal followers foisted on us in 1913. This was sold in the USA as a tax on wealth.

Karl Marx never suggested a wealth tax, I believe. He was in favor of simply grabbing all the property, except for the personal tools of workers.

Of which I have, for years, advocated the abolition. You .... not so much.

So you only want to grab some of it. This year. And more of it next year. And more the year after that ...

Piss off, Karl.
