She needs to get tougher on Israel, otherwise everything I see is good.

The fact that she didn't have to face a primary this year is a political gift. She didn't have to go.on record while jockeying to differentiate herself and the instant unanimous support from the entire Democratic party means she can just be herself

She started out the 2020 primaries pretty progressive, but would usually roll-back her positions a day later, presumably after some adviser told her it wouldn't play in Peoria or would anger a megadonor. Maybe that's where her heart actually lies and her trainwreck of a campaign made her realize those advisors were bad people to listen to.

I'm just a millionaire. I'm worth diddly squat "on paper" because I intend to stay a millionaire. This isn't a difficult fiscal apparatus to create. Billionaires have much more effective methods at their disposal.

It doesn't matter what the tax rates are so long as the loopholes remain wide open and there's very little enforcement.

fuck it. give them a certificate that says "you won capitalism" and tax everything over $1bn at 100%

Aline is my ex. lol

Not a common misspelling but the irony is pretty funny.

But please based on wealth rather than income.

Rich people don't become rich from income.

In 1945, we operated under what was functionally a command economy at the tail end of a globe-spanning total war.

I mean, we can debate the efficacy of that economic model (re: The People's Republic of Walmart), but I'd rather the US be funding and fighting fewer wars, not more of them. FFS, if you give any number of shits about climate change, a global mobilization of killing machines is not going to point us in the right direction.

If she planned on taxing billionaires, she’d be shouting it from the rooftops. That’s a popular policy.

Not among corporate mega-donors, it isn't! Keeping it in her back pocket -- not until she's president, but until shortly before the election and, crucially, after their checks clear -- is exactly what she should do.

The article cited the 2025 budget [PDF]. It's under the section "Proposes a Minimum Tax on Billionaires".

To finally address this glaring inequity, the Budget includes a 25 percent minimum tax on the wealthiest 0.01 percent, those with wealth of more than $100 million.

Though the Harris campaign is not directly mentioned, I think we may assume it's coming from both Harris and Biden.

Not now, no, but I need to make sure they have a favorable tax regime for when my scratch-offs inevitably raise me to my appropriate station.

No, but there are still plenty of billionaire meat-riders here.
