Exactly. The love of money is the root of all evil and greed is one of the seven deadly sins. You’d think, claiming to be the good Christians they are, they would comprehend that. But I can’t think of small enough words to get it through to them.

Should never have billionaire in society where others are struggling to get by day to day.

Forget the pitchforks, bring out the guillotine.

The rich are never rich enough

No one benefits more from working class Americans than the ultra wealthy. They should pay more taxes accordingly.

They won't need the money when they are in jail for conspiracy to pervert a democracy.

I'm so ready to stick the rusty prongs of a pitchfork into the guts of a billionaire! I fantasize mostly about disembowelimg that broccoli-haired pansy Zuckerscum! He's used his media empire to destroy democracy for his own greed! Don't blame me! Billionaires created the hate! Reap what you sow!

And, unfortunately, that is why he was forced out. Even if it is correct, saying that we need to pay more taxes will never get a politician elected. People prefer to believe their lies. That's how Trump got elected. Promise everything. Deliver nothing.

Let the pitchforks come. Then tax the ones that are left. They'll be happy to pay, whatever it is.

He lost when he was caught talking about the 15%...

Start with this. No one needs a private aircraft. Anyone who has one isn't paying enough tax.

MAGA has viscerated the GOP, which is today's reality many Republicans cannot, or knowingly choose to not to acknowledge. I know it will takes decades to recover from this disaster. We are no longer a world leadership icon of democracy. Breaks my heart. Again, I would vote for you if I could.

People are financing groceries now! Millionaires admit to shopping at Walmart! There's only so much money to go around and it's flooding upwards to the billionaire class. Republicans are suffocating the American Dream.

Off course the WSJ attacked him for it. The Murdochs own and control the WSJ.

Nobody paid it. Marginal rates are meaningless-- the 50s and 60s were the golden age of tax avoidance.

It’s not just the tax rate, it’s the insane loopholes!!If billionaires & corporations paid 37%, that would be a huge influx - compared to the 0-1% they pay now!!!

I believe one party has been saying that for a long time while a cult with a long history of genuflecting to the Top 1% has been saying it would destroy America. It feels liberating escaping a cult doesn't it?

Romney is first and foremost a bean counter.

Now good old Mitt speaks.. he is wealthy human garbage . How many billions did he funnel to his friends while in office..

The same place maga pointed them on January 6

We need a French style revolution.

I’d like to add this Mitt Romney quote… How I wish the GOP had not enabled the mobster Trump.

Not even all the precious metals of 16 Psyche could satisfy the insatiable money-lust of those who have more than they could spend in a hundred lifetimes.

The Wall Street Journal is good at conservativism, but lousy at economics

Of course, the rich should pay more taxes. It’s not going to hurt their wealth.

I laugh at the amount of money billionaires spend telling us that universities and colleges create socialism. The truth is, NOTHING creates more socialists than excessive greed at the top.

If it weren’t for billionaires buying the politicians and the Supreme Court, we wouldn’t have Citizens United. Billionaires are the cause of every problem we have. We need to repeat and harp on this until everyone understands then tax them out of existence.

Absolutely!

Yes, I just watched the 2 seasons of Marie Antoinette. They threatened to tax the rich and the rich caused a revolt to avoid it and... well, you know the rest.

Is that the same group he was speaking to when he told them that if he got elected they wouldn't have to vote anymore because he was fixing things so good that they wouldn't have to? Pretty sure it was.

I feel they are ungrateful for the blessings they have. The absolute greed! It's coming to a head. There is only so much people can take.

Ubuntu I am because we are No one is truly "self made"

Is their piss

And some bodily fluids

And shit, don't forget the shit that rolls down hill to us peasants.

I made it. Sorry you missed it.

Did you put forth this legislation when you could have?

So did Warren Buffet

Imagine not one, but two whole Republicans who are in favor of taxing the rich. I can’t believe what I’m reading.

Not much I can agree with mitt but that solid point

Nah, you'll still need em.

And repeal citizens united.. too much political power

Government of the billionaires, for the billionaires, by the billionaires

The pitchforks are overdue and should have come out when our government decided we don’t need healthcare and that low income people don’t need food.

The pitchforks should’ve come out a long time ago. Do not just threaten do it. Threatening does not make one bit of difference to the fascist government they laugh at it. We need action.

Pitchforks? In a land with a tactical carbine available for every man, woman, and person of any other or no gender, children inclusive? No, they would be so lucky as to be worried about pitchforks.

Prophet Willard is a death cult leader that wears magic underwear. "The Empty Suit"

Beware the Beast (We The People).

Bring it back to pre-Reagan era.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8OW... Listen to Robert Reich. 70% of our economy is driven by consumer spending. If 90% of consumers can't or won't spend money, because they don't have enough or don't have confidence in the economy, the economy collapses. Not enough spending to keep the economy going!

@mittromney just speaks whatever narrative he thinks people want to hear.

Balance is essential

Not pay more Pay their fair share Right now our tax system is based on where the money isn’t and that is in weekly pay checks We need to tax where the money is The top 1% pay themselves in ways to subvert this system, All compensation should be taxed the same regardless of how you receive it

Mitt is right isn’t a thing I’ve said before, but this is NOT sustainable.

SEVERAL rusty pitchforks might just be what are needed against these rat bastards. I'm ready.

I don’t. Yet.

They’re already out

That's not really how "saying the quiet part out loud" works.

Thank you. I'm saving this quote in my arsenal.

...and guillotines!

Before the pitchforks come out? Well Mittens...The pitchforks are already being sharpened and distributed. Real Americans have had enough of this traitor.

That’s because the Wall Street Journal benefits from tax cuts. 🤷🏼‍♀️

He maybe right, but he should have the courage to do more for THE PEOPLE by voting against some of his bills. But, nooooooo! It has to be down the party line. WTF! WE THE PEOPLE are dying!

another American Revolution? Hopefully similar to Norway's "Labour Revolution" that took place in the 1930s and ushered in a strong welfare state www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2gO...

Hmmm, I wonder who owns the Wall Street Journal? Oh yea, billionaire Rupert Murdoch.

Personally, I wouldn't mind the pitchforks, but I'll settle for Eisenhower-era federal income tax.

You would think it would be obvious when a healthcare CEO was murdered and a majority of the nation did not care at all. As the Epstein case has shown us, wealth isolates people from accountability in America. If the system won't give the people justice, eventually they will take it on their own.

Even ignoring "workers of the world unite" type rhetoric, this has been studied at length and reasonable people understand that a progressive tax rate is necessary. Scandinavian countries show that high taxes can co-exist with strong growth.

We should also recriminalize what Mitt Romney spent his whole business career doing after Ronald Reagan made it not a crime to be a vulture, a capitalistic vulture like that m***********

Again handing out my pamphlet bsky.app/profile/sore...

Yeah many of us laugh that "tax cuts" seem to be the only policy idea GOP ever come up with- for ANYTHING!😂

Give him one thing. He tells the truth even when 47 percent of the time it wasn’t in his interest;)

And should not be able to make larger contributions to congressional pockets. My pitchfork is sharpened and next to the front door...

Personally, I think (and feel) that if governments must tax their citizens, it ought to be tithing for everyone except the destitute.

Mitt Romney is right, wealthy need to pay more.

And remember, Mitt Romney isn't alone. Most are hiding it

The ballot box, IF we can keep Musk out of our elections we may be able to make the change we need with our vote.

You have a lot of fucking balls, dude. NOW you want to tax the rich because you're worried the pitchforks will come out for your rich asses because Mamdani got elected? I'm right here if you'd like to discuss how this is cowardice for you not to just completely own that your policy sucked.

I'll be happy when every last one-percenter is cowering behind the walls of their mansions with their tiny little "security force" realizing the reckoning has come. I'd rather they have an en masse epiphany now (watching the homeless walking down my alley all day) before they "get it" the hard way.

Right - because it is not about billionaires. It is about the system that creates them rather than lifting everyone up. If there were no poor, nobody struggling for housing, healthcare, education, food... Nobody would be complaining about the rich.

You're a pathetic closet gay.

Unlimited growth is required in a system that is dominated by financiers who obtain their wealth by collecting interest on everyone else's debts, including corporate debt. They push for leveraging IOU's as "assets" for more borrowing that expands the debt bubble and increases the flow of interest.

Many other nations tax their rich enough to (1) allow for universal health care, and (2) too keep their rich from destroying their nations with their egos run amok. It’s time that Americans learn the lesson. Tax the rich, we can use the money for good.

Exactly. We will find you.

And Trump and his party switched on the afterburners with their legislation

What rich America believes is that they can stoke enough hate that the poor, especially those in the south will fight for them. And they may, but if they do, they’re guaranteeing, they will die poor. And the rich don’t care. After the Civil War was there a rise IN wealth for all Southerners? NOPE

The plan all along has been to Russia-ize America so GOP donors and politicians can rule over the rest of us like Oligarchs

Reagan’s campaign slogan - “Make America Great Again”. Now certain how that’s turned out.

Git the damn pitchforks out.

The end of greed is often a sharp one.

Had reagan never won, the American dream would still exist for lower middle income families🫤

Isn’t HE the RICH🙃I remember how he amassed his wealth! He’s no voice of reason nor trustworthy, but complicit in where we are today🤷🏾‍♀️

The funny thing is, I think most people would be oblivious to American billionaires, if they hadn't taken the first opportunity to dismantle and defund every federal program that helps average Americans. Elon was just an eccentric inventor until Trump handed him the keys to the government.

One economic class should not be totally exempt from any taxes and then be allowed by the RV SCOTUS to spend infinite money to interfere with Democratic Elections

I will never understand why so many in the bottom 50% either vote against their own interests or don't vote at all. This whole epstein thing is an example of how that much wealth rots the soul. The corporate welfare babies complain about people getting food and healthcare while taking hige tax cuts

Exactly

Tax billionaires into millionaires...

THE FRENCH REVOLUTION IS MY ROMAN EMPIRE.

America’s biggest threat is coming from the .1%!

We don’t need to reform entitlement programs in the sense of making them have smaller benefits.

Necessary for what? Necessary for the investment accounts of the establishment elite of the day? But, yes, that is the way fascists seem to think about a great many things, as for example an old Nazi might way, "Yes, murder camps were evil, but also necessary (to Save Western Civilization)."

Fuck. I don’t have a pitch fork.

Remove trump oligarchy
