If you ever doubted CNN is a vehicle for promoting communist views here is a proof:

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/02/28/opinions/bloomberg-presidential-run-could-cost-taxpayers-billions-mccaffery/index.html

But in a very meaningful sense, Mayor Bloomberg is playing with what in the long run would be house money. The public is effectively picking up at least 40% of the tab for Bloomberg's massively financed run.

(...)

So when Bloomberg spends $5 billion to run for president, we the people lose either $2 billion in tax revenues or $5 billion in public charity.

Of course the only way to claim we will "lose" is if one accepts the money is ours to lose. In the sane world where people still own their (tax paid!) income Mike can choose to wipe his mini ass with his money and we will not "lose" a cent because it was not ours in the first place.

And if you think it is only the filthy rich that play with "house" money think again. The difference between commies going after the rich and going after everyone else is a year or two of tanking economy...

The word communist wasn't even mentioned in your link.

And you left out a critical piece of the article:  "The reason is the existence of the US estate or "death" tax. The simple fact of the matter is that, as an aging billionaire many times over, Mayor Bloomberg sees the clock ticking on his ability to play Estate Planning 101: the simple advice to spend it all and die broke."

It appears to me that CNN is just arguing against the estate tax. Fuck them.

It is a communist concept that all property belongs to the collective.

If you look at Edward McCaffery's other articles, you'll clearly see he thinks billionaires should be taxed more.

I assure you that's not exclusively a communist idea.

You think Communism is mainstream?  Not even Bernie supports Communism.  And CCN sure as hell doesn't support Bernie.

Though I suspect you're just joking.

It appears the Iowa results are still very fucked up:

Iowa Democrats should not certify inaccurate caucus results

Things are worse than I expected them to be.  I figured the establishment just wanted to give the false impression that Bernie wasn't the frontrunner for a little while to give the other candidates a boost.

Instead they said they don't have time (after nearly a month) to fix all their mistakes.

‘We don’t have time to correct every error’: Iowa Democrats vote 24-14 to certify caucus results

Over 1/3 of the IDC wanted to make it right, but they lost the vote.


I'm a man of my word, so I've updated my signature according to my signature bet.

I was more arguing for NYT’s accuracy, not whether they’re mainstream news

But it’s cool. Not exactly a solid victory...
