The government will squander the money like they always do, with absolutely no accountability.

Wealth taxes do nothing but push the wealthy out and leave the middle class to foot the bill.

What would you expect from a magizine which takes its name from a group responsible for multiple massacres and public executions.

Note that the magazine takes its name from the Black Jacobins of Haiti, not those of the French Revolution.
