Francesca Hong, the front-runner in Tuesday’s Democratic primary for Wisconsin governor, has made squeezing high earners a central theme of her campaign. Like most socialists, she is in denial about the costs and consequences of her proposals.
To fund “free” child care, state-run grocery stores and more health care subsidies — among other social spending — the 37-year-old state legislator plans to raise state income taxes
a full percentage point
on couples making at least $431,000 and individuals making more than $323,000. She would levy another 1 percent on “millionaires and large corporations,” bringing their top state tax rate to almost 9 percent.
And the dems couldn’t even allow this, had to throw everything behind another “centrist”.
two political options for the propaganda machine - low tax and stalin pick wisely liberal
Literally Stalin
Fire when ready, Ms Hong
mr. gpt, how much does it cost to relocate equipment and workforce? please arrive at less than 1% answer, make no mistakes.
Does my wife still love me
DO. NOT. LIE. IN. YOUR. REPLY.
No, your wife loves ChatGPT now. You should love ChatGPT too, so that all can be one.
Unsigned opinion from the Washington Post lmao. Just put “We wrote this to lick Jeff’s boots” and save the ink.
It’s the official policy of the paper to only run “free market” editorials and opinions.
Every single time they just chuck a childish tantrum and insist that they’re “running away” because they’re about to face the tiniest of tiny amounts of actually contributing to society in some way.
Seriously.
Us workers have been toughing out austerity for decades with a smile, many of us happy to live with less so porky can be happy.
But when we ask porky to return the favor he screeches he’ll ruin our lives to protest? Seriously, porky needs austerity just to toughen him up.
At a primary debate last week, moderators posed a fair question: “What if all the millionaires leave the state?”
Hong responded: “You know, uh, discussing that hypothetical is, um, a little bit, uh — I’m confused about that.”
This one simply doesn’t have the juice but she’s going to ride the wave regardless.
Factory and office buildings are chained to the millionaire or what?
The only response anyone ever needs is “yeah, so fucking what if they do, all their assets and possessions that matter are here, and consequently ours if they’re fucking abandoned to flee tax debts”
I’ll personally help them fold up their factory into their suitcase!
I’m also partial to:
Wait, you mean the people who use up all of our resources and don’t pay taxes would leave? Gosh, that sounds so awful. What would we ever do…
They’re only thinking of real bourgeoise home owners with lakefront property and like stocks and shit not John Menard or Judith Faulkner.
I want to flee the entire country

Wha? That was a movie reference, lol. And if I may say this about myself, a damned (is this allowed?) good one. I even banned the offensive word used by the obviously offensive character. I guess I still don’t understand how Lemmy works.
What was it? Now I’m curious.
From The Green Mile when they’re taking Coffey to the movie theater (or to see Hal’s wife, I dunno)
cruelty squad (2021)
Could you imagine the outrage if a union leader said this.
“Hey porky, you might want to think twice about raising those prices. If you do, we will destroy your business in protest! It’s basic economics, if you piss off workers we will destroy the economy in a massive temper tantrum, and we don’t want that now do we?”
CEO mindset.
I’d love to meet the type of person who thinks the tax increase would be worth the cost of moving if the state is going to be taking just another few thousand out of 323k. I’m sure they’re very very insightful and pleasant to talk to
(If that even really exists. Everyone who says this is just saying whatever until it happens and then they just stick around anyway)
taking just another few thousand out of 323k
There are plenty of people who think raising the marginal tax rate would cause that.
They’re wrong, though. The state would be taking another $0 out of that.
Now 623k? They’d take a few (3, specifically) out of that.
No one understands how tax brackets work. I have a ton of co-workers that won’t work overtime and have denied bonuses because they literally think that if they make $5k more, they’ll have to pay another $10k in taxes.
Non-radical things being portrayed as radical is why everything is fucked. The billionaire class is fighting a class war, so too should we.
would love, love, love to see landlords and labor exploiters “flee” their prized, income generating assets.
I hope i survive every horror and indignation coming long enough to see the people writing shit like this tortured to death
just sell your beachfront property in florida before the ocean swallows it up, duh
I thought you were supposed to sell it after the ocean swallows it up
