Continuing the core Democrat policy of “no one’s standard of living will change, nothing would fundamentally change,”
God I fucking hate all the libs who were going "Well ackshully..." over that comment, as though socialists misunderstood Biden's position. "He was talking about the billionaires! How they could pay more taxes and wouldn't even notice! Biden wasn't talking about the common folk!"
Yes, that's the fucking problem you asshats. Billionaires' standard of living needs to fundamentally change on levels so radically or else they're going to destroy the world. Taxing the Kardashians 100% on their private jets is what liberals would describe as too far. Yet it still isn't far enough because private jets shouldn't exist, especially so they can commute to other parts of California.
No amount of clean energy or biking to work or carpooling by Californians is going to offset the carbon footprint of Starbucks CEOs commuting via jet from Sacramento to Seattle or whatever the fuck that was. These greedy, selfish fucks should be lined up against a wall and shot for how much damage they've individually contributed to mass extinction and wildfires.
And going from alive to dead is a pretty fundamental change for most people.
