The proposed tax would see those with more than $5m pay 2%, rising to 3% for those with more than $50m and a 5% rate for dollar billionaires.

our government cannot expect to be trusted if it would rather tax working people than wealthy people
tax the rich – tax us
shit like this makes me go full accelerationist, the last thing we need is faith in government (but it also doesn't require faith, only powerlessness)
also, money is real in the sense that governments use it to enforce capitalism, but it isn't real in the sense that you can just throw money at those types of problems. paying more nurses won't stop them getting covid.

Deliberately intended to frame stratification of economic class in terms of income instead of relationship to the means of production.
The fact that the number itself is so low is bait for you to argue over long enough to avoid discussing anything that might lead to class consciousness.
where to even start with this?

Ah yes, the "I want to contribute, but not really" option. So generous

absolutely, hence "where to even start". it's funny that they are useless even on their own terms though
