You want to elect someone to pick a fight with billionaires, but you aren't willing to support that fight. I want to tax billionaires. But I don't think that it is going to increase tax revenue until people are willing to come to demonstrations and publicly smash their iPhones. Until you are willing to do stuff like that, you are just a person whose hobby is bad mouthing billionaires while getting down on your knees when they open their zippers.
UGGGGGGG!
It does no good to keep doing what we have done since Reagan, and cave in.
You are the one who caves in. Be a man. Make a sign about how badly you want billionaires to stop tax dodging and get their money out of politics. Take that sign down to your local Starbucks. Demonstrate. Tell everyone to stop spending their money at Starbucks. Throw coffee that you made at home at the Starbucks windows. Try to get people to join you. Fuck Starbucks. But you're probably drinking a Starbucks right now.
