1. The whole point of a free society is to build an empowered citizenry. 2. A ruling class deplores an empowered citizenry. 3. There should be no ruling class in a free society. #WealthTax

1/2 1. No, the point of a free society is to let individuals live their lives as they see fit. 2. Every government in history has evolved to include an entrenched ruling class AND entrenched bureaucracy.

Define ‘wealth’. Then, after you’ve removed the motivation for individuals to work by stealing their accumulated excess work, how will you reinstate the motivation to innovate, invent, and discover? Without that, humanity will stagnate.

We get the leaders we deserve.

We're at the point that only a comet, or natural disaster of biblical proportions will knock the current power structure loose enough for "Life-Loving," humans to get a shot at running things. Might get pretty bad in the interim.

True. The democrats are the ruling class and take a look at the havoc and destruction that your party has caused!

The whole point of a free society is…..to be free. Here you go again pushing the ‘rich people are bad’ narrative. What is a ruling class? Like , people who just sit in the Senate and tweet out the same thing everyday?
