    I mean, we’ve been trying to do other things, but they won’t play nice. I guess we need to exterminate a few, then offer the rest the opt-in to pay higher taxes as an alternative.

      The landlords that were holding the Chinese economy hostage were given a chance to relinquish their properties, then they executed the ones who wouldn’t.

      It’s only fair we give them an opportunity to surrender.

        We’ve given them plenty of opportunity. We tried to pass something closer to universal health care, and they shot it down. We tried to raise the minimum wage, they shot it down. Tried to relive student loans, tried to make housing more affordable, nothing.

        They have had their warnings.
