The gown SAID “Tax the rich”. The rich are far from ignorant (mostly… and if they are, then they have lawyers for that). Ramirez seems to have fallen off the end. Further off.
If there is a flaw in our system, it is that a person like her can gain so much power. Talk about a fool. And you above commies put Ramirez down while gushing over this nutcase from New York who wants to put thousands of hard-working people out of there careers with her absurd ideas. NOBODY in their right mind cares what yours and her opinions are. Move to Russia or China and get a real taste of that lifestyle.
If there is a flaw in our system, it is that people don’t know socialism from communism or when to avoid publicly volunteering for Ramirez’s proposed tax on ignorance.
That is literally the dumbest comment I’ve read today. You need to seriously look up what the definition of “socialist” is. Just because a country calls themselves a socialist state doesn’t mean it is.
Interesting that she would wear a designer billboard to a function that has an admission price equivalent to a new car. Wonder if her limo turned into pumpkin at midnight?
Most states have sales taxes, they are one tax that Republicans favor over all others. I would like to see a sales tax on the sale of stocks and bonds, a sales tax that would not affect the majority of us, one that has a high threshold, $5000 for instance, before kicking in.
The corporations and the rich aren’t ignorant; they’re laughing all the way to the bank to buy more influence and to prpagandize the ignorant to think the ignorant are privileged.
As I posted elsewhere, if Lauren Boebert or Marjorie Taylor Greene had worn a gown emblazoned with Trump logos or NRA slogans the right wing would be applauding it and maga-hatted men would be rushing out to buy copies for their daughters.
Ramirez may be naming the Ignorant as voters who consistently re-elect candidates who conspire with with big business to keep the tax burden on the mid and low incomes. If so, I gotta agree with him on this one.
What does Venezuela have to do with American federal tax policy? I don’t know of a single person in Congress, AOC included, who thinks that bankrupt, pathetic country is anything to emulate.

Now we know why Ramirez is afraid of being taxed.

Ramirez is evidently terrified that his most abundant characteristic will be taxed.

Apparently M. R. is one of the most taxed beings on earth if his level of ignorance is any indication.

Ignorance is the foundation of the Republican Party. Conservative cartoonists are doing their part in promoting and perpetuating.

Tax the rich…period.

Tax the Rich! They haven’t paid anything even close to their due since 1984!
As an aside, “Tax the Ignorant” does actually exist. It’s called “State Lotteries”, and it is quite literally a tax on being stupid and gullible.

Not a bad idea. We could wipe out the deficit with Republican taxes. If we taxed cynicism we could wipe out poverty.

Ramirez is fighting to protect the wealthy. Only the little people pay taxes. Am I right?

But I doubt that’s his point.
