    I celebrate leftists succeeding in our current system.

    Some would love to shove certain narratives down our throats like successful leftists are hypocrites, unsuccessful ones are just jealous. There is no amount of money we can make, no way for us to live, that you won’t criticize.

    Hasan does a lot of good work for the left. Good for him.

    He's a hypocrite. His wealth is built on the backs of laborers. His wealth belongs to the state.



    You could seize the wealth of all American billionaires and it wouldn’t even fund the federal government for one year.

    We have a spending problem that is never recoverable by tax increases.
    Not even for 3 or 4 months.

    Kobe, who is going to make him pay? Poor people don’t buy $200k autos. Maybe you can research the groups he’s giving his evil capitalist money too and get back to us.

    Something tells me you’ll have another excuse for an obvious hypocrite like this clown.

    This is a bad look. Abigail Disney actually sees the problem of banana republic 400 families paying the same effective rate as their butlers and secretaries and isn't some fake Twitter jackass. Unfortunately, on this board the main progressive tax proponents are Kobe and Hhussy

    Why do progressive think that capital gains should be taxes as ordinary income? Capitalism works and taxing capital means less capital which means less investment and that means less jobs for the middle class and even poor people. If Elon Musk sells $1 billion of Tesla stock he would pay $200 million in federal taxes and before he fled Cali another $130 million in state income tax. So, paying $330 million in taxes compared to a secretary paying 16,500 on $50,000 (@33%) of wages seems pretty progressive to me.

    PS Tesla has 71,000 employees.
    PPS The secretary wouldn't pay 33% either.
