I get where this idea comes from but to me it just shows how lacking the world of conventional political media is. if the advertising industry accepted a premise like this it would collapse in a day

Other things the U.S. government do with $50 billion taxpayer dollars:
—Clear the medical debt of 20 million Americans
—House every homeless veteran 113 times
—Prevent 6.2 million Americans from being kicked off Medicaid
—Buy the entire state of Nevada a late model Toyota Corolla
never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.
Nothing in life is certain but death, taxes, billionaires using geopolitical conflict to give themselves a raise, and largely dodging the tax part too

We don't have that wealth tax... yet.
But the power of working class solidarity can change that, just like it has throughout history.

An art collection including a priceless Basquiat. Would said artist disapprove of an oligarch funding the crusade against “woke ideology" and a "misguided ideology of oppressor and oppressed"?
Not caring is what being an oligarch is all about.

This is very well done, and absolutely astonishing. No one person needs this much money.
taxing is too good for them..
Important to contextualize Bernie’s billionaire wealth tax as the fundamentally conservative approach that it is, this is the bare minimum demand, it is a common sense solution that must be passed today, but when we come to power we must go much further, and fully liquidate the billionaire class.
If you ever call it the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry instead of MSI, you’re a fucking fed.
Ken Griffin is so so very taxable—income, corporate, wealth, unrealized gains, realized gains: it’s time to tax the rich!!!!!!

Magazine style cover of Ken Griffin with dollar signs over his eyes, in front of a burning pile of cash. Headlines read: DOCS, DEPARTMENT OF CLASS SOLIDARITY HOW TO BLOW A BILLION A GIFT GUIDE BASED ON CITADEL BILLIONAIRE KEN GRIFFIN'S EXTRAVAGANT PURCHASES FOR HIMSELF CONSTITUTION? A BASQUIAT? PENTHOUSE? DINOSAUR!?!
Imagine Bernie Sanders' 5% billionaire wealth tax passes. People like hedge funder Ken Griffin, who fueled the crusade to close 50 Chicago public schools, will be tightening their belts.
So if you're looking for a gift to cheer him up, check out what the man defunding our schools already owns🧵
They voted to gut the state’s climate law, and are on track to lose their election tonight.
Public power's potential is growing every single day because people know nothing about this sits right with them.
A reminder that Tesla owner Elon Musk awarded himself a trillion dollar pay package based on 'meeting targets' like this.
third way really has its finger on the pulse with its opposition to a billionaire tax. really smart election-maximizing moderation here folks

The average New York family would have to make $334,000 a year to afford childcare care for a two year old in New York City.
4x the median family income.
The equivalent of 10 minimum wage jobs.
Tax the rich to fund universal childcare.
Taxing the rich to fund programs like universal childcare would benefit millions of New Yorkers but it would make it harder for me specifically to tell my mom why she doesn't have grandkids yet
