Conservatives are the problem, the ultra rich conservstives exacerbate the problem.

Note that the opposite of ultra rich conservatives is Jimmy Carter who still built wealth but didn’t go for ultra wealth because he actually cares about people. The ultra wealthy are a symptom.

I wouldn’t put these 2 in the conservative category, they are fascist groupies. They were both born into wealth, and then did everything possible to constantly grow their wealth while exploiting labor and everyone around them. They both have a real disdain for rules/laws for them, but love to try and use the legal system against those they see as an enemy.

So, conservatives. Modern conservatives are fascists, it is the same thing.

Conservatives are simply fascists with masks on.

If you wanted to separate it out then fascists are those with power and “conservativism” is the ideology they peddle to the working class to make what they’re doing seem ok.

They’re the same thing, really.

Totally agree. I’m starting to think that taxing the rich is one of the government’s most important functions.

I think it might be worth it for them to do so even if they set the collected money on fire afterwards.

Otherwise your politics become this: billionaires “interviewing” billionaires.

It’s literally regulation and that can be a good tool. It’s what a government should ideally do. It can be weaponised of course, in both directions, like we are experiencing now.
