It’s always a nice headline to read at first and then you remember the real gut feeling is only felt when the losses are paired with a working class salary.

When you go from 400b to 200b, it literally changes nothing about your life like losing 15k when you have 30.

Losing half of 400 billion is absolutely NOT the same as losing half of 30k. One changes nothing you can still buy anything on Earth. One is the difference between getting a new car and getting one used.

It's a good start but not nearly enough.

It may be dangerous to be america's enemy, but to be america's ally is fatal.

I mean, stocks go down they could have been the ones that sold their shares and are holding cash now moving the market. Would have been much easier to have just taxed them so they really lost 200 billion and it was put to good use.

There is currently a way to tax them, but we'll have to act before the GOP closes it.
