There are hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people that are provided very generous livelihoods in NYC, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Jose, and Seattle. They should be included as well on a varying effect based off paygrade, real property, and paper holdings. Start by removing their incentives. Money ahould then not go to government, but to an independent insurance fund, where the poor can make claims on.

Make it the top 1000, or even the top 10,000. Tax then at a marginal rate of 80% over the first million and an estate tax of 100% over the first 2 million. Then they would REALLY trickle down.

I read the other day its like three (3) white dudes who have more money than half the population the country, that includes low income people and lots of low income whites. So the narrative is that all white men are making you suffer?? Wheres my Nell Carter photo (from the TV show "Gimme a Break")
People in the city love way too much in the bubble. Too many sjw walking around in NYC these days trying to get folks fired from their God damn jobs due to their beliefs are not aligned with theirs.

Wow. Where did you hear this? East village, or by pro black women in Harlem?

White supremacy is alive, there are still guys marching with Swastika flags.

That doesn't mean they are privileged. Just idiots. The privileged white people voted for the Clinton dynasty in large numbers.

Yes I think people should be fired if caught marching at Nazi rallies. That's up to the employer of course but you get the point.

As an employer, I would fire anyone marching at any rallies. Only unemployed people march rallies. Taking part in any rallies and the employer sees it. The employee should be questioned.
