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

Is there an eightfold path type guideline follow up?
Replying to @marwilliamson
There is no democracy without economic democracy. Workers take part in running workplaces, decide the terms & conditions of their work, form co-operatives, have easy access to financing, a voice in labor law-making and drafting national/industry CBAs, mandatory union votes, etc.

Marianne, YOU are part of that ruling class. If you believe in this so-called "free society", you have more actual power to affect change than any random 10 thousand members of your "empowered citizenry". Stop talking and DO something.

A wealth tax doesn't fix any of this. We need a dictatorship of the proletariat as opposed to a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, which is what we have now.

That's why the 2nd amendment is so important. The forefathers knew tyranny is always a possibility with human nature. Those within an elitist class are incredibly fearful of an armed citizenry, because it's the ONLY thing that ultimately keeps them in check.

Why is everything on the left focused exclusively on higher taxation on writing more laws, regulations, restrictions punishing the very citizenry and individual freedom essential for success The rich on the left, constantly telling us, that our problems are the greedy rich people
