David Brooks wrote a piece a few weeks ago that has several points progressives should explore. Elon Musk’s tweet bleeds ‘tax the rich.’
Wealthy
FREE STUFF? No? We want what we earned. It’s the wealthy & corporatists who get free stuff.
Both Republicans and Centrists are demeaning those who want middle-class centric policies with the “Free Stuff” trope. It is nothing but projection.
Billionaires paying off student loans is not the answer but a danger. New Draconian abortion laws!
Many continue to slam those who are not impressed by the magnanimity of Billionaires and the wealthy giving away money to the less fortunate.
It’s more than taxing the rich & wealthy but an economic redesign
It is our economic design that allowed the rich to extract everyone else’s share. It is time to examine other designs that include Modern Monetary Theory which we’ve discussed before on Politics Done Right.
