Haha remember the Cold War guys?

The half of my family that watches fox news thinks taxing people that personally make over 10 million per year a marginal rate of 70% on everything over that amount is Communism.

Even though top earners were taxed at 90% on their earnings over a similar threshold and the US wasn’t communist...

This faulty logic gets them to ‘Elizabeth Warren, AoC and Sanders are all communists’ and we’re back to full on McCarthyism/Red Scare.

Literally had the conversation last week. This shit doesn’t come from nowhere, it’s the right wing echo chamber in full effect. They think Patriotist = Nationalism and Accountable Capitalism = Socialism = Commumism.

The redefining of words is especially double plus ungood for democracy.
