Democrats Are Going After the Ultra-Rich Again and I've Got Some Thoughts
By Bonchie | Jun 09, 2021 1:30 PM ET

The most shocking, completely unexpected thing is happening right now.

After the ultra-rich, including Jeff Bezos and a litany of large corporations, helped bankroll Democrat candidates in 2020, the alligator they fed is now looking to bite their face-off. Leaked tax documents are being used to compare total wealth to effective tax rates last year (a stupid statistic as total wealth has already been taxed prior), and left-wing politicians are using the opportunity to push for higher corporate and personal tax rates.

Here’s Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Sen. Chris Murphy on the matter.

Fine.

Let the Rodents tax the wealthy at 100% of their total wealth.

Next year, once the rich people are broke, there still won't be enough money to fund the Rodent give-away programs.

What will they do then?

Would be funny to watch.  The people out in the country where the food is grown...they have guns, too.
