The money raised by taxing billionaires out of existence will do more than help with the budget. Taking their money would make it impossible for billionaires to buy governments and write budgets to benefit themselves.

The so called backlash to "tax wealth, not work" is either disingenuous or confused. They claim it won't work because it won't raise enough revenue but that's not the point of a wealth tax. The point is to reduce inequality. A wealth tax is a way forward in that direction.

Updated Aug. 2, 2026,Excerpt: "Although not all self-described #DemocraticSocialists are in the Democratic Socialists of America, the DSA is an increasingly influential player on the left.

A July 28 Reuters/Ipsos poll revealed that 47% of Americans say they don't understand democratic socialist policies.
"While President Donald Trump and his GOP allies slam democratic socialists as
'#communists,' the Democratic Socialists of America is defining its own brand in the new platform."The 120,000-member organization's policy roadmap has three sections:
- Thriving Working-Class Communities
- Working-Class Foreign Policy
- Working-Class Democracy "Read more [or not. I'll be posting the official DSA platform soon...]:

...broadcasters and politicians 👈who should know better."
What is needed, IMO, is to address this terrible angst of the white lower and upper-class male and give him new purpose.
What really must come to pass on a macroeconomic level, in order for this to happen, is to #AbolishBillionaires through a #WealthTax * and make higher education (again) universal, among other things like overturning #CitizensUnitedVsFEC and encoding that..
