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 unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

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.
