Who cares about thousands of dollars of unfair taxes if I can get some of that sweet cheap blue state gas AND stick it to the dirty jews at the same time?

Nonsense. They need all those new taxes to pay for free health care, free college education and reparations for slavery.

This is my position. These people dont actually believe anything they say, they say what needs to be said to mobilize a block of voters to gain power. Period. This is both sides, they are just two sides to the same coin. As long as Americans dedicate themselves to carrying the water for one side or the other, their plan will reap huge personal reward.
which is the exact reason why they'll exempt themselves and their handlers outside the government. smooth brains talk about private industry oligarchs while the real oligarchs are in washington DC. they're the same hand, just on the opposite side of the body. if anything, it's the government oligarchs who are most egregious, because they write the laws to codify all of it.

that's the difference between we right wing nationalists and left wing ones: we believe (know) that the oppressor is, ultimately, the state and any actors that coincide with it (media conglomerates, academia, billionaire handlers, etc.), while the left wing views the individual who employs 200 people at his mid sized private company and who owns a couple vacation homes with a net worth of half a billion dollars as the oppressor. they think the people who make the world go around day in and day out are the enemy and totally ignore the police state where the likes of nancy pelosi can "serve" their entire lives and retire as a member of the top 0.25% club.

and the older generations will sit down and take congress exempting themselves, but this is not a sustainable model for the younger generation. none of this is sustainable.

They will revise the Tax Code to include unrealized gains in the definition of "income"


That bus left the station long ago, and they missed it.

The wording of the 16th and findings from some SCOTUS cases pretty much define income (for purposes of this topic) as realized gains. Again, that's such a drastic and radical change that if it happens we might as well revolt.

If they could so easily change something like that, they would also be able to just as easily re-define any other aspect of the Constitution.

I am not saying it is correct or legal/constitutional. I am just stating what I believe their method will be.
