Here's one of the left's finest "advocating" to tax the rich. Evidently he cannot make his own way.

What else should you realistically expect from those who lack the ability to build or create anything of value themselves? I agree, it is disgraceful in general.

I find it immoral. My parents taught me that envy was "stinkin' thinkin". Yet we have millions, TENS of millions, of Americans captivated by envy. Driven by it.................

It really is disgraceful.

Bill Ackman blasts ‘radicalized, anti-American’ Democratic Party and ‘disasters’ Pritzker, Newsom​


The Green Red Alliance is running the show now.....

https://nypost.com/2026/10/20/busin...mocratic-party-and-disasters-pritzker-newsom/

Billionaire hedge funder Bill Ackman says the Democratic Party is in the worst shape in its history – and thinks likely 2028 presidential contenders like Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and California Gov. Gavin Newsom are “disasters.”

On a Tuesday episode of “The Katie Miller Podcast,” Ackman said there are some impressive Democratic members of Congress, but insisted the party as a whole has fallen into shambles.

“I think the Democratic Party is in the worst place it’s ever been. In the 250-year history of the country,” the founder of Pershing Square Capital Management said.

“I think it’s become like this crazy, radicalized, you know, anti-American thing.”

Sickness. An entire political party driven by the emotions of envy and jealousy.....

What a disgrace.
The party of “victimhood”

They have convinced wide swaths of the public that they are victims being held down by the “white man” and “systemic oppression”. It’s all they have because the rest of their ideas are stupid.

Marxism in practice … and everyone can see it.

What's happened to you? We used to know you as a reasonable, center-right guy but it seems like you've gotten wildly extreme... unless I'm mis-remembering. Did something change or were you always this way?

Absolutely. Even some democrats can see it. Take Ruy Teixeira for example.

It's dangerous because it is based on perception, not fact.

What is wrong with these people?

In my opinion, the rot goes very deep. This is not a one-off. Over the last number of years, huge swathes of the American left have become infected with an ideology that judges actions or arguments not by their content but rather by the identity of those involved in said actions or arguments. Those identities in turn are defined by an intersectional web of oppressed and oppressors, of the powerful and powerless, of the dominant and marginalized. With this approach, one judges an action not by whether it’s effective or an argument by whether it’s true but rather by whether the people involved in the action or argument are in the oppressed/powerless/marginalized bucket or not. If they are, the actions or arguments should be supported; if not, they should be opposed.

I remember when some fat dork noted that this was from some rightwing website. It's from the IRS. The left hates real data.



Seems like income tax is very progressive. What the left really wants is twofold. One, they want to rile up the masses in an attempt to get votes. It's as old as the hills. Demagoguery. Notice the "dem" in the word? Some coincidence. Two, they want to punish success. Punitive taxation. Millionaires have a life they want and can't have so they lash out like immature fools who can't manage the emotions of jealousy and envy. It's a sickness.
