Hoarding billions of dollars is immoral in a world where poverty exists
One of only about 3 democrats with enough spine to recognize the class war that we have already been in for decades.
But I’ve cut my Disney+ subscription and make my coffee at home! What about when I become a billionaire – I don’t want to be taxed!!
Woah, common sense! Shocking!
Mamdani represents actual change. The Democrats are corporatists (corporate stability) and the Republicans support oligarchs (deconstruction to create billionaires). Addressing the real challenges in our economic system have both scared.
Many economists agree. It’s a symptom of economic stagnation and a very unbalanced incentive system.
we shouldn’t
if you have a billion feel free to redisbritue that welath to some of the rest of us
Hell yea! Zorhan is quickly gaining GOAT status with me!
You can be a billionaire if the people who you employ live at a comfortable level. I’m not talking driving a 100k car but don’t have to worry about what bill to pay!
There are 756 billionaires in the US, and there are 38 million people living at or below the poverty line.
Please protect this man.
There is definitely a point where wealth simply becomes obscene. I’m not saying people can’t be wealthy, but hoarding amounts of wealth that could never be spent in generations is immoral and simply pure greed.
Put it into a time perspective. 1 million seconds = ~11 days. 1 billion seconds = ~**31 years**.
There are the „elite“ who hoard hundreds of billions of personal wealth while acting as a leech on society, straining its resources, and doing everything they can to skirt their tax liabilities in order to add just a little more to their hoarded wealth.
Meanwhile, the majority of people are barely scraping by, unable to afford basic necessities, and wake up each day with life more expensive than the day prior.
But at least the welfare queen billionaires consistently get their tax cuts, I guess.
No one should be billionaire’s. No one needs to be a billionaire, i totally agree. Hopefully he means what he says, politicians are usually the most greedy of them all.
Say it louder and more often
Please stop, I can only absorb so many good takes at once.
I agree one hundred percent. We call folks with newspapers stacked floor to ceiling hoarders and mentally unwell. For folks who hoard money and wealth we call them smart business people🙄. Fuck billionaires.
People really don’t fathom how massive a billion is compared to a million. No human or idea is worth that much more than anyone else. So yeah, seems correct.
They were mad because he was right.
Bill Ackman is shaking.
He’s right
Tax the rich like it’s 1950
As if being a 100 millionaire is not rich enough, lol. Tax any wealth over 1 billion at 99%.
I once saw someone break down how much a billion dollars actually is. Short version: you could own a beachfront mansion in say Miami or LA, and luxury penthouse condos in NYC, Paris and London, get a Rolls Royce and a full-time driver at each locale, along with a full-time cooking and cleaning staff, and a private jet with a full-time crew to shuttle you back and forth. Congrats, now you still have 850-900 million left, which you can easily earn $80 million a year on various investments, if not much more, because you’ll be privy to the kind of investments only the wealthy can access. What you won’t have enough for: a 50-foot super yacht, a Hawaiian island, or the ability to alter presidential elections.
Tax rate over $1 billion should be at least 90%, for capital gains too, and close the loophole allowing billionaires to borrow tax-free against their assets.
We need to take back the Democratic Party
See right wing losers, **THIS** is based.
I don’t know what’s more disgusting, Jeff Bezos and his disgusting yacht, or his disgusting plastic Frankenstein of a wife. You’d think a dude with that much money could have at least bought a beautiful woman. Meanwhile his OG wife was actually beautiful inside and out, donated more of the divorce money than anyone in history
I also don’t think we should have billionaires.
A wealth cap would solve all of our problems
I feel hopeful because of this guy. We must protect him at all costs.
Without billionaires who would have celebrity studded week-long wedding galas in Venice?
Name me one good billionaire and I’ll tell you of 50 bad ones
He is a hope for the future!
Billionaires are a policy failure.
We don’t need them. They need us.
The billionaire class should NOT EXIST!
Billionaires are inherently immoral. It’s disgusting. They are capitalist kings. NO KINGS.
