“This would be the most crazy tax structure we have ever seen. It makes Venezuela look normal. It makes Russia look normal,” Gingrich stressed. “That speech last week in Raleigh, where [Harris] outlined her economic plan, that was crazy.

    I think the upper class should start proposing solutions then, if they don’t like the ones going around.

    They’d do well to remember what happened to the knights templar, when governments racked up high levels of debt and all wealth was being privately hoarded.

    How hard would it really be for the seals to eliminate ~100 people?
