I mean, I think I think when you're dealing with politicians or with most of the Democrat politicians, yes, I agree.

Right.
If Clyburn says you're the guy, then you're going to be the guy.
And Clyburn is looking at all of these people like Hassan Piker and all of the far leftists.

We have to have a tax on your net wealth.
You're not going to get those donors to give you big checks.

Well, it was, but it's not the... They just have a 9.9% income tax on earnings over $1 million per year.
That's in... Right.
And look, I mean, rich people are just going to leave.
Yeah.
And you've got Ro Khanna and Bernie Sanders talking about that one federally.
That's going to be a problem for the Democrat Party.
