Back to the Economic Envy Card? Giving the Race Card, Misogyny Crad, and Homophobia/Transphobia Card a rest?
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Taxing rich people more does not raise anybody's wages.

Quite the contrary, in fact.
Since rich people are generally the owners of businesses, taxing them more will often lead to them cutting their employees' hours, pay, and ultimately jobs in order to lessen how much of a hit they take financially and keep their businesses in the black.

Taxing individual income of billionaires is different than taxing corporations they own or have major shares in.

First off, that wealth is NOT cash in their damn bank accounts, but stock holdings, and second off, if they were forced to sell all to get taxed in the way these idiots want them to, those stocks would fkn CRASH.
NAMBLA is a left-wing organization.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

When Obozo, preezy Shit Midas, was told that raising taxes would bring in less tax dollars he said "It's not about bringing in in more money. It's about "fairness." IOW, punishing the achievers and society in general.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.
