Democrat poster boy Platner thinks Musk should be jailed for his nazi salute.
He thinks that, does he?
Strange. He didn't say that during his recent thoughts on Elon's
tril.
Graham Plattner said he would just like to see more of that wealth
spread around.
Fox News isn't too happy with the idea, as you'd expect. I'd suggest the people of Maine have other thoughts. I'd suggest you once had similar thoughts yourself, and that makes sense.
After all, you live in a country without a Big Beautiful Bill, cutting taxes for the rich and getting rid of government-funded health insurance.
You live in a country where PMs and treasurers work hard to balance the budget, get tax and spending right and try to spread the cash around.
You even live in a country where trillionaires like Elon have to obey our laws, like banning social media for under 16s. DL said he was interested in that policy, but quickly got distracted. He was interested in our superannuation policy too, but it was all too hard, particularly when Elon and the billionaires said no.
Elon now owns more wealth than 47% of the world's population combined. That means all his kids will inherit his money, leaving 47% of the population renting, dealing with inflation and living paycheck to paycheck. In America, the big corporations own most of the spare houses, largely buying them up when people lost their homes during the GFC.
Now, DL wants the billionaires to own the most wealth. He recently became a billionaire himself, getting gifts from the other billionaires. In return, he's helping them get even richer, giving them money from the taxpayers.
We live in a country where our leaders are sincerely trying to tackle the intergenerational wealth divide, so suck on that, Elon. In America, the politicians are all bought sold and paid for. Here, political campaigns are government funded. There's no such things as superpacs. Everybody who's enrolled heads out to vote. With the exception of Pauline, getting prezzies off Gina Reinhardt, our pollies are mostly middle income earners who make a little more than us.
Sure, we still get Elon's fake news, as demonstrated in most of your posts, but do you know?
We remember a time before Elon turned X into a fake news site for Nazis. Back then, you were allowed to have your own ideas. You didn't have to create socks to make stuff up.
Ah, the good old days, no?
