If we get rid of income tax per Trump’s suggestion, get ready for THE PURGE

People will turn on each other. Resources will disappear. It will be a dark age.

But the rich will retreat to their safe rooms and bunkers to wait it all out.

That’s the plan.

The amount of time and energy Trumpers spend denying basic facts and reality—science, history, economics, election results—must be exhausting, no wonder they’re so angry all the time.

Silicon Valley billionaires were never liberal, they were always libertarian in the way of those who view themselves as "indispensable" and everyone else as not so.

Sure, they love sex and drugs, but they also love employees working 80 hr weeks and never really leaving their "campus" labor camps.

We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way to get rid of Citizens United. Let me explain. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get-rid-of-citizens-united
