Eric Black at MinnPost highlights Bernie getting a "Geppetto Checkmark" from WaPo fact-checking for saying how unacceptably wealthy the Walton family is at the expense of Walmart workers. It is an obscenity needing rectification. Said another way, tax the living shit out of the fuckers. They've earned having that happen.

And especially, get them on estate/inheritance taxes. That's the traditional way to Tax the Wealth. The Warren proposal would ice that cake.

It is easy to misread Black's headline, as a "Geppetto Checkmate," as if a chess ending. A "Walton Checkmate" might be just fine, as an ending. Then there is Bezos.
