Why should I be? Why should I be certain all the information on you held by your bank, your credit cards, your loans/mortgages, your investments, your brokers, your CPAs/lawyers, Facebook, Google, etc., etc. is out of the reach of the gov't?
How did DOJ learn about who attended the 1/6 "insurrection"?

When will that legislation be introduced
That is the goddamned point!
E.g.,
Bill Gates publicly says, "PLEASE TAX ME!"
Bill Gates privately says to Dems, "If you tax my foundation, I will gut you like a fish."
So while the Gates Foundation may well not return one cent to the US in """"charitable"""" contributions, politicians are not about to touch the >>$200 Billion it entails.
Instead they'll go after several thousand bucks from David_DJS's account and millions like it.

Fine platitudes/talking points, but what are the actions?

I'm all for taking back the culture, but I'm 100% certain that ain't happening as long as conservatives sit back and wait for someone else to do something.
That said... I am equally sure it won't happen by enacting the socialist agenda.

Says you. With no supportive arguments.

So I'll frame it in question form: what's the downside in the political fight between Right and Left to letting Democrats tax George Soros?
quote:Ok. Good. You admit to being a socialist. Fine. Stop masquerading as a "conservative" or a capitalist.
Why are you under the impression there is "competitive capitalism's" basic tenets to fight for? The ship has sailed.
quote:I did. Earlier in the post. You still haven't shown that confiscation of unrealised wealth will be a good idea.
You didn't answer my question.
quote:*Yawn* I'm not interested in revenge for people because they are wealthy. Bills of Attainder aren't the purpose of our government--for good reason. Wealth-hate is stupid basis for policy.
What are your suggestions to beat George Soros, Zuckerberg and the Google boys back into their box?
I get it. You hate "the rich". You want an authoritarian socialist government that persecutes political enemies of by confiscating their wealth. Sorry. I don't. It's never worked out for the "non-rich". It didn't work in Venezuela and it won't work here. You've made no argument to convince me that form of government is a good idea. Go check with Bernie and AOC. They may have some talking points you like.

Listen, it seems maybe English isn't your first language, which is totally cool - but when something is explained to you 3 times and you're still not understanding, maybe it's a point you just leave behind?

You don't understand the difference between a broad suggestion and actions? "Taking back the culture" is not a plan. It's a goal.

If you ever want to understand my point of view, let me know and I'll explain it again, but if you're convinced I'm advocating for socialism, then you're reading what you want to read and not what's there.

Except it hasn't been explained 3 contradictory ways. I don't know how to help you here beyond suggesting you not try to make a point when you're not understanding what you're responding to.

You argue like a liberal. When you read something that goes against your 1985 Reagan era sensibilities, your respond by arguing hyperbolic bullshite. I can't be a conservative, have to be a socialist - simply because I make a political argument that you don't understand. No different than some retarded Lefty on MSNBC arguing that it's racist to think Kamala is a moron.
Did you know Trump advocated for a wealth tax?
Did you know Trump had a high-earner income tax increase ready to go?
If you want to understand my POV, go read/listen to Steve Bannon. In spite of what might be your initial inkling, he's not a socialist, and he's pretty f'n conservative.
There was a meme posted in a thread several months ago that showed an "Occupy Wall Street" float from 2011 adorned by all the typical "business is bad" bullshite, and next to it a pic of another float from 2020, same "protesters" and full of SJW shite, etc., and placards all over the place denoting corporate sponsorship by Chase, Walmart, Amazon, Google, etc. I wish I could find it because it depicts a shite ton of what's happened over the last 10 years that you don't understand.

When borrowing from the future by creating unbacked currency is no longer sufficient you may double down by taxing those future "gains" before they're even realized.
Late stage fiat.
