They're in the twitter thread.

Comments like:

Well, considering the number of people who I know that don't have a retirement because the inherent inequality within our economic system, I'll say that this might just be a "you and the other college grads who pretend they might some day be rich"-problem.

Ignorant f**** who are completely fine with stealing from those more responsible and committed to their futures than them.

"I wouldn't call that a wealth tax"

Well, what the **** would you call it then?

I don't know, "stupid" is the first thing that comes to mind. Of course you could add any number of words to the front of stupid to spice things up.

And this:

How are unrealized capital gains not a thing?

And…

If a law is passed by YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS which levies a tax on something, then, how can it be "unlawful seizure of personal property"?

These are the people you are up against when fighting for your future. They absolutely LOATHE people more responsible than them in life. People like this will stop at nothing to take everything you build up in life in the name of equity, and lazy f**** who don't want to earn it the way you did.

I doubt many of those Twitter responses (if they aren't bots) probably have zero idea what 'capital gains' are much less what realized vs unrealized even means. They just hear tax the billionaires and are immediately on board.
