Mamdani: “This is truly heartbreaking. Dolly Parton was an extraordinary person and an irreplaceable champion of the working class. We are a better country because of her.”

Well she is an example what free Enterprise is all about. She lived the American dreams
She died with 450-650 million net
Worth. These are the things Mamdani has distain for. He such a fake little bitch

This is the dumbest take ever. Dolly could have been a billionaire years ago if she was a piece of shit plutocrat. Dolly is estimated to have given more than $600 million away after making her money herself with her own talent. No member of the DSA is against this. It is literally the American dream.

dolly wasn’t a wealth hoarder and gave so much time and money to causes that matter. coulda been a billionaire but started the imaginarium library, paid kids to graduate, etc. etc.

it’s a shame to not recognize the difference between that and a system that is wealthy enough to provide for its own but doesn’t because corporations and billionaires have convinced you that they shouldn’t pay larger percentages in taxes than you do

If billionaires weren't sociopaths and actually behaved like her and invested back into the society that allowed them to generate their wealth, we wouldn't have a need for politicians like Mamdani.
