HOW IT STARTED:
HOW IT’S GOING:
LET’S ZOOM IN, SHALL WE???
[Cool sci-fi zooming noises]
Krystal Marie Ball is a left-wing political commentator who contributes to HuffPost and previously hosted shows for MSNBC and The Hill. She occasionally makes the rounds as a guest on everything from CNN to Fox News.
And she’s [checks notes] getting mad because Amazon just gave Melania Trump a $40 million book deal.
Here’s where I’ll pause with a brief disclaimer: Take the $44 million number with a grain of salt. Half of those celebrity net-worth sites are AI generated, but she is worth millions nonetheless.
I even found a thread where Reddit commies argued about it. Her first husband was a tech entrepreneur in educational software and there’s no telling how much she got in the divorce or how much she earns as a political commentator (she’s currently married to her co-host). I don’t have a copy of her IRS returns handy.
So let’s say she’s ONLY worth a paltry few mill.
Ball was born in 1981 and is 43 years old. According to the illustrious NerdWallet, the median net worth for a 35-44 year old is $135,300. This means that Ball has a net worth many times greater than a typical American her age.
SEEMS LIKE CAPITALISM HAS BEEN TREATING HER EXTREMELY WELL!
But you know what? She’s actually right, just not in the way she intended.
Mob rule gets you guillotines and gulags. A federalist system of checks and balances with constitutional protections that limit the power of government allows people to trade their goods and services according to their interests and skills so that everyone can pursue happiness.
The problem with that is, well, it doesn’t allow commies to get their way.
If Ball wants to prove her loyalty to her cause, she should put her money where her mouth is.
Give it away for democracy, lady!
