@cmarinucci So very confusing that anyone's idea of "socialism" includes a state where one business sector's success comes at the expense of a majority experience of extreme scarcity.1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes
I might unpack that more. Because our state can’t really raise revs from property tax, it is ultra-dependent on income tax and in particular income tax from the 1%. Our state public systems are structurally dependent on extreme wealth inequality.
