I love Tulsi
Big tech & big box retailers are seeing windfall profits & will emerge from this crisis stronger than ever at the expense of small businesses who are bearing the brunt of gov restrictions. I introduced HRes 1267 that will tax 95% of excess profits to support small businesses… pic.twitter.com/XjCKazW30d

… modeled after the excess profits tax put in place during WWI and WWII to prevent war-time profiteering and support those who were struggling. Here’s the text of the bill: pic.twitter.com/8no6b0bc7j

And before you at me with “socialist redistribution!”
The United States Federal Government and the government of forty-nine states recommended and ordered the shutdown and lockdown of small businesses while exempting big box stores, Amazon, and home delivery services as essential.
They picked the winners and losers. They effectively centrally planned our economy.
It should also be noted that the people who profited the most from this are all donors to the party that has been the most insistent about lockdowns.
Almost as if they had ulterior motives for the lockdowns (such as wiping out competing small businesses).
Go right ahead and tax those fuckers to death.
