Politics: Wealth Inequality and Tax Policy

The GOP bill to repeal the estate tax would primarily benefit the wealthiest families, giving $2.6 trillion to just 812 billionaires. Notably, the Walton family would receive $153 billion, followed by Musk's family with $139 billion, Bezos's family at $87 billion, and Zuckerberg's at $84 billion. Meanwhile, family farms and the vast majority of people would see nothing from this. This feels like a clear example of oligarchy.

I think this is a pivotal moment, and maybe we should focus on a "Fight Oligarchy" tour rather than getting caught up in electoral politics. It's important to recognize the bigger picture right now and not let this opportunity slip away.
