Linda Yaccarino (former CEO of X): "this is actually one of the scariest things I have seen. it won't stop here." [View all]

The super-rich are not worried about their car dying, or if they can afford daycare, how to feed a family & clothe growing children. They don't consider skipping a medication b/c of its cost.
But the rich want to feel oppressed, so they pretend slightly higher taxes is life or death. How dare they
