#NYT Gives ‘Whining’ Megadonors a Platform to Push Harris Against Taxing the Rich

”I’m shocked, shocked, I tell you that Wall Street billionaires and Silicon Valley tech bros are trying to convince a presidential candidate to abandon her commitment to tax them, and using their own alleged brilliance to justify it,” said Morris Pearl, the chair of the Patriotic Millionaires. “I admire their chutzpah in claiming that taxing unrealized capital gains will stifle innovation!”

“Claiming that making a billionaire pay taxes on their second billion will reduce innovation is as absurd as the rooster claiming the sun won’t rise without his crowing,” Pearl added. “The billionaires I know were all highly motivated to earn their first billion. The only thing at stake here is the remarkably fragile egos of billionaires who are on the verge of realizing they might not be saving civilization for anyone, including themselves.”

"With the assistance of big corporate donors, Democrats out-fundraised their opponent by huge margins. After Biden’s victory four years ago, they also had a readymade template for how to defeat him — preaching ambitious social policies and activist government — but bafflingly opted to pursue a rerun of Clinton’s disastrous strategy instead."

Democrats Have Only Themselves to Blame

Kamala Harris supporters are already blaming a stupid electorate and an inclement economy for their historic defeat, writes Luke Savage. Maybe it had something to do with cosying up to war criminals and billionaires?

KAMALA DIDN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG. This country is racist and some people would rather be led by Trump and all he stands for than by a woman and especially one of color. Has everyone forgotten how even Democrats in Congress didn’t even support President Obama? STOP BLAMING HER!!
