Francesca Hong, the front-runner in Tuesday’s Democratic primary for Wisconsin governor, has made squeezing high earners a central theme of her campaign. Like most socialists, she is in denial about the costs and consequences of her proposals.

a full percentage point
on couples making at least $431,000 and individuals making more than $323,000. She would levy another 1 percent on “millionaires and large corporations,” bringing their top state tax rate to almost 9 percent.
Every single time they just chuck a childish tantrum and insist that they’re “running away” because they’re about to face the tiniest of tiny amounts of actually contributing to society in some way.
