Why Can't We Fund Universal Public Goods? Blame the Tax-Dodging Billionaire Nepo Babies (www.commondreams.org)

But a report released by Americans for Tax Fairness (ATF) on Thursday shows how "billionaire nepo babies" don't just waste their families' fortunes. They also benefit from "a rigged system" that allows them to "pass that wealth down over generations without being properly taxed–often without being taxed at all."

Let's keep beating this corpse shall we? We all know. Apparently the only path that garners change is Luigi's.

Luigi is the inevitable end result. It's what happens everywhere. Unions and negotiations are pretty strong in Europa because the alternative was workers burning the factory and the boss's home down with the boss and their family still in there.

Or the nation turns into a complete police state and things get suppressed for a long time to get even more violent somewhere down the line.

It's the bass line of history.

I like to think that it's the bass line from "Another One Bites the Dust"

Except we don't all know. Trump, the poster child for nepo babies, won the popular vote.

[–] Sanctus 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah and he is pissed his massive propaganda machine still barely won him that in reality. Only Sith deal in absolutes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I genuinely don't know what you're trying to say.

[–] Sanctus 1 points 2 days ago

That he isn't as popular as he thinks

If we stop beating this corpse, we'll all just be corpses.

The end result of their tyranny is blood, and a lot of it. We can either stop it now, or wait for it to get worse. The for profit heathcare industry needs to end.
