    I mean, I’m pretty sure it was part of Harris’ platform to increase taxes on the 1%, it was just pretty much ignored by the legacy media, who are now just the mouthpiece of the wealthy. That said, it wasn’t enough of a change. It was a bandaid when we need a tourniquet.

        Yeah, I guess I can’t just blame the legacy media, because even when she had the attention of the nation with a live mic, she still didn’t try to hammer it home.

        I almost think the small wealth tax she was proposing put the “elites” solidly in Trump’s corner. So not only did she alienate her wealthy backers by doing something, but also the working class by not doing enough. It was pretty much the worst of both worlds.
