In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Fear spread by the same people who claimed Obama was going to take your guns.

If you believe it’s going to be just billionaires...well. Bernie used to say millionaire until he got too many millions himself.

Their own words and actions!

Proponents of Wealth/Billionaire Taxes:• Sen. Bernie Sanders (Independent/caucuses with Democrats) has actively promoted wealth taxes on billionaires, characterizing them as a check on extreme wealth concentration.
• Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) has publicly criticized Democrats who oppose wealth tax proposals, arguing the party should stand with the working class rather than donors.
• Rep. Laura Friedman (D-CA) introduced federal legislation targeting loans taken out against appreciated assets to tax high-earning wealth accumulation.
• State-level Democrats in states like Minnesota, Maryland, Washington, and Illinois have introduced or backed various state-level wealth or mark-to-market tax bills targeting high-net-worth individuals and billionaires.
