Hey @HowardSchultz: We actually don’t have to guess about this; there are these things called “polls” and they say you’re wrong: nymag.com/intelligencer/…
The *inequality* is punitive, @howardschultz.
Poor people who haven't been convicted of anything literally have to stay in jail if they can't afford the bail rich people can easily pay.
Imagine thinking a tax increase on billionaires is "punitive."

“Punitive” is when I decided to make Howard Schultz my new hobby, now that Paul Ryan is gone. 
This is a preposterous and fundamentally unserious response.
Ha! Politico says Schultz is “not without supporters,” then quotes exactly one Democrat, a donor who ... doesn’t support Schultz.
I have found the Howard Schultz voter.
“Far left liberal progressive” is 3 different ways of Schultz saying (what to him is) the same thing.
It’s the central premise of his candidacy; reporters shouldn’t let him just throw the label around without examples—and challenge him when his examples aren’t really “far left”

Basically it should go like this
Schultz: Far-left
Reporter: Give me an example.
Schultz: Raising taxes on billionaires like me.
Reporter: That isn’t far left. Everyone wants to do that. Get off my set.
Schultz: <is never heard from again>

How about putting kids in cages and praising Nazis? Has Schultz called that un-American during this dumb rollout, or does he save that derision for attempts to help non-billionaires?
Howard Schultz is running for president to prevent a very popular tax increase on billionaires.
There are 325,000,000 people in America; Schultz is one of 540 who are billionaires.
That’s America’s dominant — and smallest — special interest.

“I am not in bed with any special interest”
Nobody in America knows who Howard Schultz is. He’s done no work of note in politics, has no platform. Yet he’s been on like a dozen TV shows in 48 hours, because the “liberal media” is in fact quite fond of selfish billionaire plutocrats, on whose behalf it rigs the discourse.
“Free job for everybody”? Does Schultz think people should *pay* to work?
Oh wait I forgot about that wage theft thing, and the supervisors taking employee tips. I guess he does!

“Billionaires shouldn’t be taxed more” is an extreme ideology, @HowardSchultz.
Yep. Pretty impressive how quickly Howard Schultz went from “who the fuck is that guy” to “fuck that guy.”
