~~Tax~~ Eat the rich!

Here's the thing. Even if he lives up to this promise, it's still him deciding where that money should go, and it won't be towards long term support of social safety nets for the commoners. He should just have been paying his fair share of taxes all along and into the future.

Yeah but that’s communism, so no way it would’ve ever happened. The average American voter thinks they can become billionaires some day.

Does the word communism even have meaning any more, or is it just something to yell when confused people get confused?

I know, I caught the silent /s at the end of your post :) You are referring to people who don’t use it sarcastically - does the word communism have meaning left when they use it?

Honestly, it might just be creeping closer to "social". As in, concerning a society. Things like bike lanes and healthcare.

It means when the government helps people that aren't me or people I like, or fails to hurt the people I don't like.
