Remember the American Dream? It was a simple deal: you work hard, you innovate, you succeed, and you get to keep what you earn. Sounds fair, right? Apparently, that’s now a controversial idea in some circles. For a free nation to thrive, it has to protect the right of its citizens to enjoy their success without a target being painted on their backs.

An ideology of pure resentment has been festering for years, teaching that achievement is a crime and prosperity is theft. It’s a poisonous worldview that seeks to punish, not to build. And now, out in the progressive fever swamp of California, they’ve dropped all pretense. The quiet part is being said through a bullhorn.

From ‘Breitbart’:

Progressives are using migrants’ voting power — and threats of a populist revolution — to grab a huge share of Silicon Valley’s stock-market wealth via a tax plan on California’s November ballot.

“You made all your money in California, you ungrateful piece of shit,” Kara Swisher, a progressive journalist in California, told one of the billionaires targeted by the ballot initiative. “We deserve the taxes from you,” added Swisher, who is wealthy, far-left, childless, and pro-migration.

California’s True Colors: A Socialist Power Grab

And there you have it. The mask isn’t just slipping anymore; it’s been ripped clean off. This isn’t some complex political strategy—it’s a heist, plain and simple. For years, Democrats have orchestrated a border crisis, creating a massive dependent class that looks to the government for everything. We are now witnessing the endgame. They are weaponizing this population to create a permanent voting bloc that will gladly vote to confiscate the wealth of American citizens.

This wealth tax is not a policy; it’s an act of plunder. It is being pushed by unions that stand to benefit from more state funding for the very illegal aliens they plan on using to pass the measure. The logic is as simple as it is sinister: import a new electorate, make them dependent on the state, and then use their votes to seize the assets of your political enemies.

The Radical Rhetoric of the New Left

Leading the charge is Rep. Ro Khanna, a man whose ambition is matched only by his audacity. He openly threatens “worker uprisings” and “revolutions,” using the language of a third-world Marxist to intimidate law-abiding Americans. This is not the talk of a statesman sworn to uphold the Constitution; it is the rhetoric of a man who sees our founding principles as obstacles to be demolished.

Then there’s the raw, unfiltered hatred from activists like Kara Swisher. Her vulgar tirade lays bare the ugly soul of this movement. Cursing a man as an “ungrateful piece of shit” for his success isn’t a political argument; it is the primal scream of envy. It’s the voice of those who would rather burn down their neighbor’s house than build one of their own.

A Sobering Lesson for a Naive Elite

The deepest irony in all of this is that the billionaires in the crosshairs are the very ones who championed this radical agenda. You almost have to feel sorry for them. Almost. These are the same titans of industry who lectured the rest of us from their gated communities about open borders, all while profiting from the cheap labor it provided. Now, the alligator they kept feeding has come for them.

“Stupid wealth tax proposals like this make it irresponsible for me not to plan leaving the state,” one of them now wails. They are learning a lesson that every conservative already knows: you cannot appease radicals. You cannot reason with a mob. They fed a machine that despises American prosperity, and now they are shocked that it’s coming for them.

The American First Alternative

While California spirals into chaos, a sane, American-first vision provides a path forward. The Trump administration, with leaders like Vice President JD Vance, has made it clear: our nation’s policy should be low migration and high wages for American workers. It’s a philosophy that believes in building up our own citizens, not replacing them. It fosters genuine innovation instead of a race to the bottom.

As conservative investor David Sacks put it, what’s happening in California is a preview of what’s to come. “That’s the direction of travel in the Democrat Party,” he warned. This isn’t some coastal curiosity. It is a test run for a national agenda of confiscation and control.

The battle isn’t coming; it’s here. The choice is clear. Will we be a nation that defends the right to succeed, or one that punishes it? Will we protect private property, or will we stand by as it is seized by a government empowered by an imported electorate? California is the warning. It is up to the rest of America to be the firewall.

• California’s wealth tax is a socialist plan to seize private property.
• Democrats are weaponizing migration to create a dependent voting bloc.
