California progressives are pushing for a tax on billionaires; so are senators like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. But as @MightyHeaton explains, such programs don't work. Just ask France.

Wealth taxes are the classic case of immoral policies being utterly impractical. @MightyHeaton explains why wealth taxes not only fail to do any good, but actively cause massive harm. (Come for the economics explanation, stay for the France jokes.)

The brilliant & at even at times bitterly funny interview of @naomibrockwell by @MightyHeaton on the gov't's shredding of the 4th Amendment  ("Warrant? What Warrant?!") makes me proud to report that Naomi was co-founder of my Soho Forum & is also a close relative of mine. patreon.com/andrewheaton

A mighty fine episode on privacy and the digital panopticon, thanks @MightyHeaton open.spotify.com/episode/4P7…

RT @melissakchan: “It’s a bit like pronouns except we kill people.” @MightyHeaton is absolutely on 🔥 fire here:

Is it really a war? Play along with @MightyHeaton's new game show.

this is amazing.

America has often been hypocritical in executing its foundational beliefs. But the reason that criticism holds weight is because the ideals we've fallen short of are so awesome. @MightyHeaton takes stock of the United States on its 250th birthday.

I was just going through and… huh, what happens when the Ayatollah falls! He didn’t get everything right of course (didn’t expect most everyone at the top to experience sudden kinetic discombobulatiin spontaneously!) but it was very informative. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Ladies, gentlemen, SWs fans…😝
I have explored space.
I have explored time.
Now… I explore distortion. Yes. You read that correctly.
I am releasing a HEAVY METAL album. Thirty-five metal virtuosos. Thunderous guitars. Chaos with purpose.
Covers of legends like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest — and a few originals forged in the same cosmic fire. This project is, quite literally, a gathering of forces. Loud imagination. Honest intensity. Unapologetic exploration. At 94, one does not slow down. One turns the volume up. So prepare yourselves.
We are about to boldly headbang where no one has headbanged before. 🤘 Stay tuned. The metal voyage begins this year.

Everyone who says the Supreme Court always defers to Trump—a view of the court I have consistently disputed—should fundamentally reconsider their conception of that institution.

I for one am on the GOOD TEAM and abhor the BAD TEAM, from which all problems in our country arise. Retweet if you're with me!

Thought experiment: Imagine a button that instantly DOUBLES everyone's wealth. Yours, mine, the billionaire's... everyone's net worth x2 overnight. Catch? It skyrockets inequality. The top 1% gain WAY more in absolute dollars than the bottom 99%. The gap widens massively. Would you push it? Hell yes, I would. EVERYONE ends up richer and better off. Who cares about "inequality" if no one's poorer? Envy politics is the real poverty trap. What about you? Push or pass? h/t @MightyHeaton
