      Inflation: let’s return to this dialog in 5 years, ok?

    Well, duh.

    IIRC lower income wages are a pretty small slice of total tax income anyway. Scrapping those isn’t too hard.

    Old retirees still got the votes though, as do billionaires unlike this guy, so it’s not gonna happen easily.

    What the actual fuck.

    125m?

    First they want to kill 268m people (roughly 75% of the population) then they want to make everything taxless for them? How does anything get paid? It can build bridges yet.
