Yes to ITYSL on that reference.

And how about those Democrats?!

I can't imagine a worse political party. Except Republicans, who are MUCH worse.

correct. which is why we need to keep calling out the Dems (where appropriate) until they get their shit together and start appealing to more voters than the GOP again.

Quote :
"Millionaire tax that inspired Mamdani fuels $5.7 billion haul in Massachusetts"


Quote :
"A millionaire levy in Massachusetts that New York City mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani holds up as a model for taxing the rich has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing significant high-profile departures from the state.

In the two years since the state started charging a 4% surtax on incomes over $1 million, the effort has created a $5.7 billion windfall, with the surplus being used to fund bridge repairs, bolster literacy programs and address the transportation system’s budget deficit.

While other states have progressive tax brackets, the Massachusetts law stands out structurally in its targeting of incomes that exceed seven figures. That has infuriated business leaders who complain it makes the state less competitive and drives away the wealthy. Several are even backing ballot proposals to lower the state income levy and limit how much tax revenue can be collected in any given year as a way to diffuse the millionaire’s fee."


posted this in another thread, but posting more of the article here

taxing the wealthy is good politics and Dem leadership should use this as an example and run on it

It's bizarre to see Bullet just accept TGL's theory with zero proof whatsoever.

And look, dude has yet to post his evidence, sad.

policy >>> politics, but yeah i'm cool with "4% over 1M" style taxes. would like to see Dems put more policy weight on "public debt is at concerning levels we won't be able to simply out-grow it, we'll need to pay it down with taxes too"

[Edited on October 23, 2025 at 10:32 AM. Reason : even if just for the politics of it]

New rule. Let’s not link paywalled articles unless you pay for me to have a subscription too! You’re all socialists, right? Pay for my news!
