Jason Kander, on Twitter:

Elon Musk: Beware! If they can tax a billionaire like me, they can tax you regular people too!

Regular People: We’ve been paying our taxes this whole time, bro.

Sometimes you really can compress a complex thought into a tweet. Like a truly great slogan, it focuses the mind in a way a nuanced essay can’t.
