Woke Politicians Call for a Cap on Personal Wealth
Story by Julia Mehalko • 18h
MARKETS TODAY
 
The United States has long had a huge gap between the rich and poor. However, recently this wealth disparity has only seemed to grow more severe.   

As a result, many activists and American people have begun to openly discuss the idea of creating a wealth cap. Now, many politicians have also begun to discuss creating this policy — even though many critics have stated it would hurt the American economy.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

Politicians, however, will be exempt from such a law. :whistle:

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
