    Yes, sometimes it does but that doesn’t make them the same thing. You are quite dense. My literal point is that you took a comment arguing about not wanting to line Musk’s pockets with taxpayer money for Starlink as being republican in nature. Do you like him or something? I really don’t get why you are trying so hard here.

          That’s what this comment thread is about. Take a nap and reread it.

          Seems more like a criticism of billionaires

          If you don’t like billionaires, tax them.

              Capital gains, luxury sales taxes, taxes on property and holdings, those are all pretty basic and don’t even require new taxes, just rate changes.

              Then there’s new taxes, things like progressive taxes based on value of unrealized gains (currently before SCOTUS), which could include stock ownership over X amount of stock, etc.

              There are more ways to tax people than can be listed, realistically.

                    It was a joke. I’m sorry I’m not funny. It comes with being autistic :(

                    You are kind of an asshole.

                    I’m definitely far from a republican. Pretty heavily on the left side of the spectrum, honey.
