18. Thank you airplaneman.

I say go the full 1%

Like Europe!

The capitalists have made us pay for their mistakes.

It's time they pay a tiny percentage (1%) to the countries that allow them to operate without being taken over by socialism.

I love this idea and believe populist democrats should get on board with it!
