      Because Democrats are neoliberal conservatives who don’t care about the average person. The only reason Democrats are so obviously preferable to Republicans is that Republicans are fucking insane.

    A few verses the masses. They can suck it up, pull themselves up by their bootstraps, etc.

    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.

    What there should be is an assests controled cap, no person should have control over more than 1 billion in assets.

      I don’t get the desire to violently dispose of billionaires; it’s a status defined by wealth, we just gotta take their money and they stop being billionaires. Problem solved, right?

        Well there is the issue that to become a billionaire one must exploit and abuse tens, hundreds, thousands of people? Not to mention second order effects from their actions like bankrolling politicians that strip workers rights or safety standards for example, which impacts millions of people. Some people want to see some justice I suppose.

    Well they got rich taking advantage of the poor. That’s the only way you become a billionaire. I feel nothing towards them.

    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

    Crying billionaires are a sign of society healing.

    A healthy society has zero billionaires.

    Let’s go further with these taxes.
