Greetings, Reader,
By now, you’ve likely heard that Mayor Mamdani’s candidates secured victories in their congressional primaries for New York City districts. What does it signify?
Honestly, it’s not too complex.
THE ONE PERCENT
The significant misconception permeating western politics today is that the challenges faced by everyday people are intricate and necessitate complicated solutions.
I’ve touched on this before, so I won’t dwell on it. In short: the solutions are quite straightforward.
Landing a rocket on a moving barge at sea? Now, that’s complicated. Sending cost-effective internet from space, or even making affordable energy accessible for homes someday—now that’s also complicated. And yes, designing the first consumer humanoid robot is definitely not a walk in the park.
But if one could solve those problems in a way that’s within reach for almost everyone? Well, that would surely make someone wealthy. For instance, June 12 marked the day Elon Musk was named the world’s first trillionaire when SpaceX went public.
The immediate response from the far-left was swift: Take Musk’s riches and redistribute them among “the poor,” with the understanding that their friends involved would take a cut and provide negligible, flawed services, if any.
California Rep. Ro Khanna squared off numerous times with online critics over his suggestion of a wealth tax on Musk. Massachusetts Senator Liz Warren also floated an “ultra-millionaires” tax.
Warren proposed using Musk’s wealth to fund “free child care” for “three and four-year-olds,” apparently overlooking the many “learning centers” that mismanage such programs, often siphoning off billions.
She also called for more “free” college. But seriously, do we really need free college? Haven’t we realized that “free” college can lead to significant debt issues?
Amidst this new battle against the One Percent, a curious trend emerged online. It can almost be summarized in one question: What’s Elon Musk ever done to me?
“It isn’t the top 2% that causes deodorant to be locked behind glass at the store,” one commenter pointed out. “It’s not Elon Musk stealing stuff from your porch.”
“Who’s robbing the stores? Who’s vandalizing nice buildings? Who’s causing daily stabbings? Who’s stealing bikes? Not the billionaires,” remarked another.
“It’s not trillionaires behind me on the train playing music without headphones,” added someone else.
Lastly, a certain old tweet got shared widely, stating:
Perhaps the most crucial lesson from public school is that we are all governed by the behavior of the bottom quintile. The rules you adhere to in life reflect the actions of this group; the taxes you pay support it; and the threats to your life and property mainly come from them.
There’s a link between all these ideas. Trillionaires, the rising socialist influence in the Democratic Party, ongoing societal issues, and the demands for more handouts from those at the lower end of the spectrum.
An opportunistic class of mid-level thinkers stands as the intellectual forefront of this neo-marxism surge. They convince the lower quintile that solutions lie in seizing and redistributing wealth. Yet, it seems they have no real interest in addressing the root issues. Their power arises from the problems themselves.
New York City feels more alien—like a different place entirely—complete with its issues and crises.
If there’s a desire to tackle crime, it’s simple: apprehend and incarcerate the criminals. Want to decrease the influence of radicalism on campuses? Just halt student visas from those regions. To make housing more affordable, perhaps we should deport millions and revoke many fraudulent visas while providing considerable tax incentives for developers.
If the aim is to lessen the burden of student debt caused by “free” college, why not abolish it entirely?
It’s not the point-one percent inflicting hardships on the average American; it’s often the bottom one percent and the elite midwit cohort leading them astray. It’s about the self-preservation of mediocre individuals in the ongoing bureaucracy who are sustained by others’ money.
Why is Mississippi showing a surge in public school literacy rates? Teachers’ unions there resisted changes that ultimately improved literacy. Fortunately, in a “right to work” state, unions don’t hold as much power.
It turns out, teaching kids how to read doesn’t require an “ultra-millionaire” tax.
The fundamental divide in America today isn’t merely about left or right; it’s about those who take versus those who create. The productive sectors in the top four quintiles contrast sharply with the violent, self-entitled factions, the entrenched bureaucracy that “provides services,” and the socialist leaders guiding them toward inevitable decline.
What that decline ends up resembling? Well, keep watching New York City.
