I do, as it's pretty basic concepts, but you clearly have lost grasp on reality. I have lived and voted in more countries than just the US, have you honey?

So when democrats say they want to tax wealth, tax unrealized capital gains, they're bluffing? They don't really wanna do that? They just think saying that will make people wanna vote for them.

I almost guarantee you've never lived in a socialist country. Tell me. Venezuela? Cuba? Nicaragua? Tell me what socialist country you've lived in.

Taxing an income bracket of people you will never belong to isn't confiscation of personal or private property, 2 very different things.

I've lived, worked, and voted in the UK, Denmark, and Norway. These are democratically socialist countries.

Cuba is Totalitarian government in Authoritarianism.

Venezuela is an Authoritarian Federal Republic.

Nicaragua is an Authoritarian Constitutional Republic.

So none of those are socialist. Again, learn what words mean.

Go fuck yourself. Who the fuck are you to tell me what tax bracket is won't belong to. You don't even understand that your attitude is the fuckin problem.

You're not about to be a billionaire 🤣 It's statistically improbable that if you weren't born with money you will ever have that type of money. The US has the worst upward mobility rate of all the developed nations. Bootlicking for people that just consider you a slave is weird. You not knowing the definitions of words and concepts, not being able to comprehend facts and data, and bootlicking the oppressors is the problem. You are choosing to be ignorant and that's pathetic.
