Silicon Valley Billionaire Sounds The Alarm;
Biden’s Tax Plan Is About To Wreck Havoc

Original Article

Without any doubt, raising taxes on Americans makes them poorer and never better off, regardless of the justification behind the levy.But taxes can also be — and have been — used in a punitive way to punish success and reward favored political constituencies.The Democrats are experts at the latter.For a half-century, Democrats, when they’ve had enough power to do so, built a ‘progressive’ tax structure that prohibited growth and shunted innovation as individuals and corporations alike were kept from realizing their fullest potential.

Writer needs help with his math. Capital gains tax will not go up just 20%. It will double. That is a 100% increase.

Why do the Democrats want to bother with a tax increase? The Federal Reserve has printed $6T for them, and has stated they intend to print all Biden wants.

I'm sorry (not really), but words have meaning. The term is "wreak havoc." Wrecking havoc would be a good thing.

FTA - "Stewart said he “ran the numbers” and determined an employee working at Google earning $400,000 per year in California “pays 38 percent of income over 10 years in taxes.”" Just what is a bottom-feeding google employee doing that justifies a $400,000/year salary, besides censoring content, that is.

What a shock, all these so called brilliant Silicon Valley billionaires who have backed the communist death democrats including their paramilitary forces like Black Communist Racist Lives Matter, Antifa are now surprised and dismayed that the communist death democrats are coming for them! Guess being a billionaire also means that history was not one of their strongest subjects while being indoctrinated by the marxist professors at the elite university they attended. Here's what they should have learned: Billionaires Rule #1 - Feeding the communist tiger and riding on it's back thinking that this will protect you and your vast wealth from being swallowed ignores the fact that one day the communist tiger will throw you off it's back and eat you along with the rest of us kulaks. All those donations you made for woke causes, the millions in political cash contributions, running your companies like some sort of marxist collective enterprise, in the end only whets the communist death democrats appetite for your money after they achieve totalitarian power over this country. Sounds like one billionaire is starting to wake up to reality but it may be too late. Guess all that money you fed into the hungry maw of the communist death democrats tiger in the end was poorly spent. Zuckerberg, Gates, Buffet, Thiel, and that human disaster who runs twitter - One day the communists will be coming for you.

#13 - Mark my words, the communist death democrats are of the Stalin/Mao mold and not supporters of the type of Fascism that was in place in Germany. They are hard core communists who will use any means to impose a Soviet style dictatorship and they will go after all these "woke" billionaires and crush them. Free America!

After a hundred days of President Biden, I think most Americans are now on to what will follow in the next few years. Joyless Joe -- Biden frowns. He grimaces. He occasionally barks and yells as he delivers a gloomy view of America and its people, past and present. Admit it: We are all racists, then and now, captives of Jim Crow still. Biden needs as many fabricated enemies as he can find; otherwise, his speeches, his demeanor, his agenda are little more than absurdities. They cannot stand or fall on their own merits because they have none. So grumpy Biden, in his latest and final incarnation, is always anti-something,

The Environmental Protection Agency is set to issue wide-reaching regulations on Monday to curb the use and production of greenhouse gases from the refrigeration and air conditioning industries. The new regulations will target the production and importation of hydrofluorocarbons—commonly known as HFCs. The chemical compound was first developed in the 1980s to replace more harmful greenhouse gasses that depleted the earth’s ozone layer. EPA Administrator Michael Regan will propose that U.S. will curb HFCs emissions 85% by 2035. “With this proposal, EPA is taking another significant step under President Biden’s ambitious agenda to address the climate crisis,” Mr. Regan said. “The phasedown of HFCs
