Did I say mandatory? I meant optional! You’re “free” to die in a cardboard box under a freeway as a market capitalist scarecrow warning to the other ants so they keep showing up to make us more!

    That picture is referencing Kamala’s proposed tax policy where she wants to tax unrealized capital gains on individuals worth 100mill exclusively

      The tweet does not say Kamala, it does not mention “The President’s Budget” that was announced by Biden early this year, it just says that unrealized gains are not being taxed.

      There is of course the implication of modern policy but I think it is healthy to include nuance and context as I have.

        It’s almost like things can exist in a cultural context without explicitly defined connections.

        Just say “oh, I didn’t realize” instead of digging your heels in.

          Whats your problem, mate? Why is context and discussion banned in your world?

          You’ll only help the liars and fiends by painting Kamala’s policy as anything other than what it is.
