Billionaires: “I DO think we should be taxed more.”
puts money into lobbying against tax increases
“My kids, who are 10, 12 and 14, you could tell them, ‘You know what, when you retire you’re gonna get money at 70, not 65.’” he said. “Do you think they’re gonna care?”
Let them eat cake!
Let them eat shit!
They (billionaires) should not exist, full stop. If they were actually taxed the way we used to in this country, we wouldn’t have these security threats.
Why would you take away these creations from them??? /s

Support yachts are the finest way to improve your yachting experience. Not only you will be able to increase the number of guest & crew accommodations, but also the amount of water toys & tenders that are within your fleet. Upgrapding the mothership to obtain the same results usually comes at a much heftier cost than a support vessel. In addition, the support yacht will be able to resupply the mothership while at anchor and make sure that you never run out of food, wines and all the supplies you may ever need.
lol. A fucking support yacht. Holy shit.
Obviously you only temporarily need a support yacht. Any day now you’ll have your mega yacht with helipad, smaller yacht garage, swimming pool, etc.
A few verses the masses. They can suck it up, pull themselves up by their bootstraps, etc.
Music to my ears? Oh wait, he could lose the billionaire vote. Like all 100 of them.
Problem isn’t the billionaire vote, but rather the billionaire dark money being funneled to the other guy instead. Which I’m sure they’re all doing anyway, but they could decide to do it more. Which makes it ever more important for grassroots efforts to get the vote out so that we can eat the rich in spite of their efforts to dodge our hungry maws.
Well they got rich taking advantage of the poor. That’s the only way you become a billionaire. I feel nothing towards them.

The guillotine was mostly used after the revolution, to kill political opponents of the ruling party that took over. More of an animal farm type deal than a revolution.
This is the sort of pedantry that keeps me coming back to Lemmy.
Hey now, we can still do both
The rule against advocating violence that removed this post kind of makes sense, from a CYA perspective, but also feels like it’s endorsing violence against everyone else.
Eh. I’m fine with my comment being removed. Fair call. But to also be fair, “eat the rich” is a sentiment as old as time.
You have to leave incentives for people who are the ones who are going to create the jobs for all those people trying to climb the ladder.
Oh my god, FUCK OFF
b-b-but, nobody will want to do good work if they don’t have the extremely weak opportunity to enrich themselves by taking advantage of other’s labor!!!
The same billionaires who frequently say “we’re not actually taxed enough”?
Probably not the same billionaires.
IIRC it’s mostly younger, trust fund kid - type billionaires who are leaning into using their inherited wealth for social justice that want higher taxes. The “against” billionaires are probably the usual, CEO of a fortune 500 compamy “I earned this fair and square dammit” boomer suspects.
For $10,000 a year, billionaires can pay me to give a shit.
Make that 10k/mo and I’ll think about it
