The progressive "tax the rich" and "minimum wage" arguments are exactly the bone billionaires are willing to throw to Democrat politicians


Especially when "tax the rich" focuses exclusively on income.

It ends up being "tax the well off" more than anything

They LOVE to beat the frick out of low to mid six figure people.

That's probably pretty accurate. "Wealth" would have been a better term. Hoarding all that wealth.

You do know you guys are the party of the elites, right? 90% of Manhattan consists of limousine liberals. The liberals are at the top of institutions, yet you people are the party of the working class? Please

Easily the hardest hit. This is the income range on the treadmill.

Probably a combination of things like you mentioned.

FairTax, eliminate minimum wage, emphasize skills and experience over degrees in hiring, injection of competition into education, trust busting and breakup of technology controlled by a few.

Payroll tax cut for individuals making under X dollars would be my guess

I view this through the lens that he's a dude who tweets populist rhetoric


Then I take it you prefer communist kill-the-pig-cop rhetoric instead, TigerDoc?

Serious question: can you name another billionaire, easing into his golden years, that went into public office to lose money? There could be one, don't know, but it certainly wasn't our last half-black one.

You're a smart guy. You got to be a little pissed at how much the dims let you down on the Russiagate BS, no?

Maybe Trump has, or at least can fulfill, a higher purpose.

BTW- I now identify as Q-bi-nonspecific.
