Trying to get exact numbers for wealth to tax it is near impossible especially in ultra wealthy areas with their own ways of hiding it Anyone who suggests touching capital gains will be accused of attacking peoples retirement at least in the US 401ks have replaced most other forms of retirement benefits

Im surprised there aren’t more Georgists in this day and age when we have so much bogarted land and empty luxury apartments

Every picture you’ve ever taken (we want your family and friends, we want where you frequent, we want where your pressure points are, we want pictures your friends took of you as well, especially in compromising positions we can threaten you with exposing, every nude you have taken of your significant other especially if you have a sexuality we don’t like and others of our party don’t approve of),

Every political position you’ve ever had(want to make sure you are on the right side, but this information goes to all of us, so chances are you won’t be, or won’t be for long, even if you are cool with me, my friend wants my position so anything he can find out about you will help that process )

Every text you ever sent(we want to make sure we know people who have done anything wrong, since we have their information as well, we also want to persistently advertise to them, like phone ringing at all hours of the day all day, you won’t be able to answer a job interview or a friend not in your contacts without hearing us.)

Every book you have ever read (I want to make sure you aren’t even thinking of things I don’t want you to, don’t dare check out that book that talks about things I don’t like, I know where you live and I know everyone else who thinks this way and where they live and who they love and I can put the pressure on)

Every paycheck you ever receive and every job you ever have(I want to make sure I don’t ever over pay you and that you have never left a job that I thought you should have stayed at longer for the amount of pay I thought you were worth.)

Every location you will ever be and have been(so if I don’t like you, I can have my friends harass you, maybe have my police ticket you, follow you around till you break one of my many many traffic rules, maybe just let someone I know doesn’t like you know where you live, an ex partner?)

Every medical record (So we know if you have pre-existing conditions, so we can charge you as much as possible for the medications because we know you need them, so we can charge you extra money or taxes or write you off entirely after you have been paying into our medical system for years.)

We would really like to bring back the company store at the least, the absolute serfdom of less desirables at most, especially if something goes wrong and we could be at risk of losing our power

One: Maybe you’re depressed

Two: Maybe you’re tricked by capitalism and religion into believing everything is special and needs a grand purpose

Three: We desperately need things on earth right now, dog shelters are overrun, solar panels need to be built and sold, bus lanes needs to be put in roads

Four: Just because it all ultimately means nothing, empires rise and fall, some remembered some forgotten, doesn’t mean nothing matters to someone else, I still remember 4th grade friendships and the things they taught me. Even if I never see them again. They still matter.

I would also add Alfalfa and Nestle (bottled 2$ water to the list. Really though “technology connections” says if you took the corn for ethanol and replaced it with solar you could power all the electric cars. (I could be misremembering)

Just as long as you didn’t have an emergency or retire in 2008 or the 10 years it took to recover

Americans have to have large cars because they are always 2 paychecks away from living in them

Not only that, Democrats were being useless at best damaging at worst, babies dying and baby formula shortages, inflation and proven price gouging, continuing government contracts with Amazon while Amazon was quelling unions, forcing rejected contracts on railroad workers, letting private equity buy up all the hospitals, housing becoming unaffordable, being pro-police, supporting big tech low regulation companies, supporting Liz Cheney, talking about loving guns, losing Roe v Wade, Used car prices were skyrocketing, Promised marijuanna users would be released from prison but didn’t, made solar panels more expensive, student loans being out of control and college costs skyrocketing with subsidizing that being the only “solution “, letting reporters be killed by Israel, drone striking and funding massive military spending. What even is the Democrat base? What single issue voter did they NOT alienate? Maaaaybe the LGBT, Atheists, No Trump and Science Grant crowd?

TLDR: Dems before the election alienated XWorkers XFarmers XCollege students XPro-Choice XGun Control XNo War XUnions XMarijuanna Users XMuslims XEnvironmentalists XMothers X People who wanted a house in the future XPeople who wanted action X People who hate Omnibus legislation and big government spending (a smaller portion of democrats for sure.)

(I still voted for Harris not that it matters in a red or blue state)

You also have to include the swing states having a highly disproportionate amount of voting power, the wealthy having a disproportionate amount of influence, and the electoral college making small farm states election makers
