They probably shouldn’t dump piles and piles and piles of money into her campaign then.

But since they will - what do you want me to say?

Why should they be afraid of one bratty little girl? They know she’s not in charge, right?

Well then they need to tell her to STFU and make them some sammiches!

That’ll work...

The rich are not afraid of high income taxes, there are always ways to work around them. Now, gross worth confiscation is another matter entirely.

Income taxes are nothing to the rich. It is property and capital gains taxes that hit them.

And yes, I would love to see an exemption on and/or lowering of income taxes up to a certain level of net worth.

Also, to help the startup business peeps, bring back income averaging. Otherwise you are seriously crippling those who might put a couple of years into a business before making their first income/profit.

It is best not to anger super-rich people or to put them ill-at-ease. They have a way of making those problems ‘go away’.............................

If they’re really afraid of her, they just need to get her to attack the Clintons and she’ll turn up in a park somewhere, committing suicide, by shooting herself in the head, twice.

So, her one vote can hike taxes? It doesn’t take anybody else? How many recreational drugs are the Fools on The Hill doing?

They do.

People like Davos never feel the pinch of taxes or the burden of regulations.

Speaking of Davos, anyone else think it’s a hoot that all those folks angsting about climate change flew in on almost 1500 private jets...

ROTF!

AOC is doing a good job... of helping the #walkaway movement from the dem party to the republican party.

You go girl!

Patriots need to get rich US citizens, including PDJT, up to speed with Supreme Court's clarification of Congress's limited power to appropriate taxes.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States."—Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

This is what I try and impress upon young socialists. The government will always be able to find someone who is worse off then you are. Once you give government the right to steal from you in the name of others the government will take everything you have.
