or, most of their wealth isn’t real because it’s fluid, and if they actually had to pay out, they’d find theirselves in the same boat as the rest of us?
Gates at least has a foundation working on health problems worldwide. The other 3 are complete human garbage, total filth, the lowest of the low, indescribale failures at being human.
it would
effect their lives,
in that billionaires accumulate wealth for power.
and
some of that power is maintaining a
divisive line between
Us and Them.
and
that line,
to Them,
is priceless.
All 4 of these guys R so geeky, why do we think they know anything about anything? They know one thing only. Computers, such an unimportant thing, it doesn’t give first aid, grow food, help mentally ill, poor & sick, no it just holds data, & prints reports. & one guy was seen with Jeffery Epstein.
I will never be able to wrap my head around how these people sleep at night, think it's just fine & dandy to break people's backs just because. That's it, just because. WTF! I can't wait for karma to catch up with them.
Sociopaths don't think about other people. These ones think they are that much better than the rest that they deserve that money. It's an illness, and one that should require treatment before it gets this far out of control.
Yes it would.... their hordes of cash/assets would be infinitesimally smaller.
Can't have that.
No. No. No.
One less diamond on a Rolex watch, or one less square foot of apartment space?
Terrifying
Catastrophic.
"Just one year of a 2% tax on billionaires would cover ending homelessness and hunger, providing tuition-free public college, universal childcare, and replacing all of the lead pipes in the U.S. - and it wouldn't affect how billionaires live their lives at all." @darrigomelanie.bsky.social
But first we may need to eliminate the insatiable appetite politicians have for money. If you plunk a pot of money down in front of congress you will see a feeding frenzy that would put sharks to shame.
In that case, it should be a 50% tax. It STILL wouldn't affect them. And we could do so much good. Especially if they got pissy and left the country. Wouldn't that be fantastic???
Come on now, do not despair. This is just history repeating. The rich, and bourgeoisie upper middle class will get their tax cut, and it will be most satisfying.😉
To where? Without the US, he has nothing. The billions in Gov handouts at critical times for him gave him leverage. And also his house of cards is crumbling now because of public opinion
Fuck 2%. We need to go way further. There should be zero billionaires in any democracy because you can’t keep a democracy with billionaires buying and destroying institutions. I will let them off at 72% tax rate plus a plan to privately support public libraries, parks, public TV and the arts.
The top tax rate needs to be raised to somewhere over 50%, and most of the loopholes need to be closed. 2-3 years of that would remedy most of the financial needs of the US with significant reduction of the deficit!
Why is it always the tech guys, can we vilify the generational wealth people like Harlan Crow or Tim Mellon, the Waltons, the Koch’s, they are also horrible and at least the tech guys created thier own wealth.
There will come a day that Luigi Mangione's actions cause a revolution against the billionaire class. More people will stand up when they lose everything because of those disgusting people. The worst people have the most money and that's unacceptable.
True.
It won't affect them.
Elmo's harem will still keep growing whilst he cheats and breeds with anyone.
Zuck will still be staring at Jeff's fiance's fake chest.
Bill will still be wanting Melinda back.
Just 2% sounds cute til you realize its on net worth, not income. That means forced asset sales, market crashes, and wrecked 401(k)s. The gov blows $6T a year already and cant fix squat. The answer lies in cutting bloat. Which you people love big gov (jobs program) so youll hate that.
Lets get real.
What I don’t understand is why they wouldn’t WANT to do charitable work or pay taxes with all their wealth. Compete to be the most benevolent instead of just being the richest asshat.
Don’t be ‚benevolent‘. That’s code for ‚chuck them some crumbs and then do what you want‘. Pay 👏Your 👏Taxes👏! And then the experts in the government departments decide how to spend it.
That's the problem with tax breaks for donations, these guys rob good causes from tax money because they donate to their favorite charity. Give the money to the government and let elected officials decide where society needs it. Pay taxes.
But...THE WEALTHY HAVE SUFFERED ENOUGH!!! Time for the poor, the children, th4e disabled and sick people and , of course, the elderly, to step up to the plate!!!🤬🤬🤬

REPUBLICANS DID THIS TO OUR COUNTRY!
FUCK FASCISM!
FUCK THE GOP!
FUCK TRUMP!
FUCK ICE!
I will stand my ground. Attackers will pay a very heavy price for their actions..
Congress created this mess, so they can stop it. Demand Trump is impeached and removed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fpONi5hvVc&t=4s

You cannot cut your way to decency.
