the most dangerous thing about left wing normalization of a 70, 80, 90 percent wealth tax is the story it binds to the american psyche — you will never be rich.

without the belief that one is master of her own life, the wealthy mostly just become annoying to talk to — trust fund babies forever apologizing for their meaningless existence. but the poor are doomed.

the american dream must be fought for. it must be argued, expanded, amplified. but first, we must acknowledge it’s under attack. i’m here to tell you: it’s under attack.

Couldn't agree more, my family were cuban refugees (back in the 60's) when they came to the US, my grandfather became a janitor as he couldn't practice medicine (his profession) when he first came over, decades later, he became head of the ER at 4 different hospitals

There's deep importance to keeping the american dream alive and well, the US is unique in that perhaps with a few interesting exceptions, like the transformations going on in China, Eastern Europe and Latin America (as they rise out of communism/socialism)

I think your causal reasoning is backward. No one from either party would be speaking about these ideas if data wasn't showing that upward economic mobility is declining, (and also lower than other countries w/ larger welfare states) https://www.brookings.edu/blog/social-mobility-memos/2018/01/11/raj-chetty-in-14-charts-big-findings-on-opportunity-and-mobility-we-should-know/ …pic.twitter.com/mX35nHHKea

You don't have the incentives to work harder/smarter than your peers, when they punish you with those rates. You have been told once that nothing is beyond your reach, but socialist are telling you that you don't deserve it no matter what you can do, what value you could create.

Perhaps you are being a wee bit over reactive here. Maybe we can find compromises. We truly need to talk to each other these days and find middle ground if the country is going to survive. Compromise is not a dirty word.
