    This is the key. This wasn't just a simple math error. It was a glimpse into their worldview. They really believe that if we'd just take money from a few billionaires, all our woes would be solved. And they believe that because they're bad at math.

    The tweet and the video both showed contempt for “rich” people. Which makes their idiotic mistake even more comical. So eager to shoot at the rich guy they did not even slow down to check what they were shooting with...

    He’s a known liar, and she clearly is not intelligent enough to be on the editorial board of a high school paper much less the NYT.

    At what point after saying five hundred millions aloud does it snap into place that it means 500 units of a million each? Not 330 million units of a million each?

    I’n not the best speller, I suck to be honest. But I don’t spell computer : ciufyjdthbfgh and then brag about it on a post :0 That is the level of that type of error on their part.

    This is socialist thinking on display. The mindset is confiscation of wealth and redistribution to the poor is feasible math be damned.

    If you ever want to prove to yourself the fact journalists are some of the most intentionally ignorant people on earth, conduct this test.

    Pick a subject you know well. Maybe your line of work or a favorite hobby. Then find some articles written by journalists on the chosen subject. You will be amazed at the inaccuracies and misrepresentations of reality.

    Then reflect on the blind trust most have in the media on subjects we don’t have easy access to information to fact check. Scary.

    What do you expect from the crowd that has trouble with facts and logic? These are the same people who said the huge deficits during the Obama years were just like mortgages.

    Real socialist thinking would be for the govt to own every factory and business in the US and then they would distribute that money they earned to every American equally. So no rich or middle but working and non working poor

    There would be zero capitalism. Indeed if your economy was capitalism you would not be socialists. This is so hard for those on the right side to grasp. So they dont . Being incorrect doesn't seem to bother them .

    Socialism is not all or nothing. Socialist in America know full well what you described is unpalatable to the vast majority of Americans and will push for an incremental approach that will position them to ultimately edge towards your description.
