Oh, so now you’re going from “American political history” (you know, the place where the states exist) to a “federal wealth tax of exactly the type and scope proposed by Elizabeth Warren in 2019". Totally not moving the goalposts at all.

Are you serious? You’re basically saying it can’t be implemented until it’s implemented and it’s proved it will save money via implementation. What other policy do you hold to that standard?

What’s really incredible is how you combine smugness with such incredible ignorance. America has “wealth taxes” of all kinds. We have property taxes. We have state wealth taxes on certain types of wealth like the ad valorem tax we pay in GA on the purchase of a car. We have estate taxes (a wealth tax, just payable…

I know you are but what am I! Im rubber, you're glue! Are you proud of yourself? 

Yeah they could. We already have a tax on the monetary value of the returns to ownership. What’s the functional difference between paying that amount in US dollars vs. company equity?

Yeah, Bernie is a dimwit and not pragmatic at all! But also, he’s not ambitious enough and should be proposing something outside the scope of American political history instead of reverting to what was the law for more than 40 years! Totally valid criticism.

Nope, he’s running! It’s going to be really tough to twist and turn your way in to rationalizing how you will vote for someone other than Democratic presidential nominee Bernard Sanders after spending so much energy explaining how everyone must vote for the Democratic nominee regardless of their personal feelings…

Since all the funds to pay for private health care are right now more than what M4A would cost (see: the famous Mercatus self-own study), you’re actually totally wrong. Is it possible your ideological priors make it impossible for you to accept the empirical reality of something you don’t agree with on a philosophical…

Do you understand how the presidential election system works in America? Were you conscious during the 2016 election? If so, you might understand why the possibility of even less than a single percentage point of potential "not trump" voters in certain states could actually be a big deal. I mean, there are clearly…

Sure, kindergarten and Congress are exactly the same.

While people should definitely help a single person trying to get a baby and stroller up/down a steep flight of stairs, it is scary. The few times I’ve helped a lady carry her child in the stroller up or down stairs I’ve been terrified that I might slip or drop or something, and the baby falls and gets hurt. It’s a…

Article I, Section 9, Clause 4 of the Constitution requires that direct taxes imposed by the national government be apportioned among the states on the basis of population. in 1895 the SCOTUS issued a decision in Pollock v. Farmers’ Loan and Trust holding that the unapportioned income taxes on interest, dividends and…

It’s weird how her Democratic colleagues are more invested in their current buddies retaining office than in being able to pass any particular legislation or push forward any particular policies. I thought they were elected as representatives of their constituents. Not members of a club who are concerned mostly with…

Yeah! That lazy bitch spends all of her time tweeting and instagramming about her skincare instead of passing bills. A proper, Serious, Pragmatic freshman Congressperson would have passed at least 100 bills in their first 26 days in Congress (including weekends and holidays). I mean, if you can’t pass every part of…

I know, right? The gall of these bitches for thinking they can be the youngest woman elected to Congress. And Libby Watson is even worse for supporting the unearned arrogance of a young woman who dared to take a seat meant for an old dude or the person directly behind the old dude who spent decades grovelling in front…

Uh, no. In the article from the Hill (you did read the article, right?) AOC’s spokespoerson explicitly says she would welcome a primary

Wow, your projection game is strong. Just because you don’t understand campaign finance law it doesn’t mean the rest of us are that stupid. But you do know that low level schlubs aren’t stroking off 2 checks for the max individual donation of $2700, right? It’s the big wigs, the rich people who care more about their…

Yeah, Black voters totally hate Bernie.

Oh, so you're an idiot who hasn't learned his lesson. Or someone who doesn't actually hate trump that much. Especially if it's a choice between trump and someone say richer than you'll ever be paying more in taxes. Will somebody please think of the millionaires and billionaires! 

Totally. I mean, it’s not like there is anyone in New Jersey who buys prescription drugs. Only people who work for the companies that make them. No one in NJ could possibly be helped by lowering the cost of prescriptions. The only people who are worth thinking about are the people who can write you big checks. Or…
