The danger facing the United States is not that California will become the Soviet Union because one of the richest men on earth is asked to pay more tax. The danger is that America is drifting toward something far more familiar from Russia’s recent history: an authoritarian oligarchy in which vast private fortunes coexist with weakened democratic institutions and a corrupt political leader who rewards wealthy loyalists and punishes dissenters.
lololol
“The poor get all the breaks! It’s not fair!”
“It’s expensive to be poor.”
“Is drifting toward”? I think we have arrived at the authoritarian oligarchy already except that it is a fat orange pedo/rapist. That’s not to say all our troubles will disappear when Drumpf is gone, we are being run by oligarchs bigger than him. When he kicks it (please, oh please, oh please, let it be soon), he will just be replaced by another figurehead, probably smarter, who might be even more dangerous.
Taxes are just one way to correct markets as inequality machines, there are others, like revolutions, guillotines, etc.
Wealth imbalance is soviet oppression.
