    Dont worry, they will wait for the current tranche of laws to pass cementing that we can never create taxes specifically on the wealthy in the future. Like Californias prop 42

    https://calmatters.org/politics/2026/10/newsom-tax-propositions-november-election/

    Wasington’s IP26-645. Iowa’s comnstitutional ammendment. North Carolinas “constitional taxpayer protections”. Missouri’s ammendment 5.

    Protecting the wealthys money is all the rage lately, a brand new booming legislative goldrush.

    Then they will let the AI bubble implode-- not before. We have a few months still. Live it up. Play the market like its still the gilded age.

      laws tend to stop mattering when the vast majority of people stop believing in a legal system and start rioting and dragging the rich from their homes and bunkers though

        The US has been hosting riots for decades. It hasn’t changed anything. It has, if anything, cemented fascist rule.
