> It will have to be taken from them

Be careful when advocating force towards others. Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, after all.

They may not have been alluding to violence; perhaps something like democracy itself would be enough to take that lifestyle away from the middle class. If billionaires consolidate enough power & resources and push the tax burden onto the middle class which makes yearly vacations unaffordable

Perhaps they were referring to economic force. But 'it will have to be taken' isn't a passive statement either way.

Ah yes. George Washington, Simon Bolivar, Vladmir Lenin, etc... famously incompetent.

Incompetence can take many forms. Some of them include starting a fight they can't finish.

I chose those examples specifically because they were completely successful.

Those were; many were not. Someone who takes issue with the middle class of the USA might not be.

you're committed to the username bit

yup
