Tax the Super Rich now or face a revolution
Commentary: A ‘Super-Rich Delusion’ is leading us to ruin
By Paul B. Farrell, MarketWatch
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) — Yes, tax the Super Rich. Tax them now. Before the other 99% rise up, trigger a new American Revolution, a meltdown and the Great Depression 2.
.....................â€
We know the Super Rich don’t care. Not about you. Nor the American public. They can’t see. Can’t hear. Stay trapped in their Forbes-400 bubble. An echo chamber that isolates them. They see the public as faceless workers, customers, taxpayers. See GOP power on the ascent. Reaganomics is back. Unions on the run. Clueless masses are easily manipulated.
........................
Here’s how one savvy insider who knows described this Super-Rich Delusion: “The top 1% live privileged lives, aren’t worried about much. Families vacation at the best resorts. Their big concerns are finding the best Pilates teacher, best masseuse, best surgeons, best private schools. They aren’t concerned with the underlying deterioration of America or the world, except in the abstract, because they aren’t directly affected by it. That’s not to say they aren’t sympathetic, aware, or don’t talk about the issues you bring up. They are largely concerned with protecting and enhancing their socio-economic positions, ensuring their families live well. And nothing you write about will change things.â€

I could of sworn there was never any violence from the left. Guess the DUmmies lied again.

Another revolution threat? :yawn:

But doesn't a single super rich person pay more in taxes than all of DU combined?

Cripes, my pet squirrel could kick their ass.
Bring it on dim-wits, Spanky wants a piece of you.

10 :Tax the super rich unto death.
20 :Redefine super rich.
30 : GOTO 10
How did that plan work out the last time you tried it, you feculant bolshie toads ?

In case you didn't know, the kaput primitive, the kpete primitive, lives in a megamansion in a gated community in San Diego, California. The kaput primitive has lots and lots of money, which enables her to sit at the computer at home all day, copying-and-pasting stories from dubious websites for Skins's island.
Some member here on conservativecave lives practically next door to her, but in much humbler quarters.

There should be a step before 10.
00 :Define super rich

How exactly do people who oppose gun ownership plan on revolting?
I mean, being revolting they've mastered.
Not quite the same thing, however.
-
But they're already revolting.
:rimshot:

I hope the DUmmies put this revolution off until Monday....I don't want to mess up this weekend.

Some folks around here were bent out of shape because Cuomo eliminated the millionaire's tax from the NY budget. The mayor here has his own radio show. He told the audience, "we've only got about 5 millionaires in Jefferson County. Get over it."
At any rate, the article in the OP's copy/paste job is describing all the uber-wealthy democrats littering our coasts.

Las Vegas might be safe. It's going to be in the 90s tomorrow. That's probably too hot for them. There is a chance next week because our temps go back down into the high 70s/low 80s. Either way, I'm ready to take them down. I'm sure my daughter could beat the crap out of them.

Don't shoot until you can see the dilated pupils of their eyes. :-)

Unfortunately the hunting prospects don't look too good this season, the turnout for their 'Revolution' would probably be very similar to that of their 'General strike' of March 30th.
