The tax rate on the uber-wealthy was once high enough to prevent them amassing war chests to warp our Democracy. Now, they can buy and muzzle the media, buy and muzzle the Court, buy and muzzle Congress, buy and rig elections. Tax their asses off. If they emigrate, nationalize their businesses and tariff their asses off. End Citizens United and establish harsh standards on campaign statements and deceitful ads. Apparently there was always this wide latitude in the Constitution giving the Executive God-like powers with NO accountability, and virtually no one knew. Biden should have had him arrested and tried. What's the worst that could have happened? oh, yeah.................
