Whatever you call them save some hate for our representatives that have allowed this to happen.Philanthropy,dark money,legitimate and illegitimate lobbying have allowed them to buy political favor and thus create policy.Wealth without political help can’t accumulate to bezos and musk levels.
Just a thought while #StPatricksDay is almost upon us. In #Ireland the word for Robber Barons is #Tories. Which funnily enough is what we call the #Conservatives over here in the #Uk.🇨🇮☘️
This isn’t rocket science people. Tax the rich and corporations at the same rate as the rest of us, eliminate the payroll tax cap, eliminate deductions. Bingo, government funded, medicaid/medicare/SS fully funded. DOGE can get F’ed and we the people have a happy life.
I'm pretty sure no-one becomes a billionaire by being a decent person. We have a system that rewards a certain type of exploitative wanker and it needs to fundamentally change.
But by not calling them billionaires -- we're just obfuscating the fact that the existence of billionaires in and of itself is the real problem. It doesn't matter how nice you think some of these parasites may be, we need to tax them out of existence.
We started this! Billionaires did not make themselves we spent our hard earned money and brought them into existence. We can also erase them from shitting all over our democracy. Stop giving them our hard earned money. Give your money to human beings, shop local, shop secondhand, barter and share.
Just think when all of their assets are seized and they are put on trial for treason. They should hope for that because the alternative will not be so nice
📣🇺🇸💰It's a Multi Trillion dollar HEIST right n front of Americans!
This is a 200 yr old systemic RICO conspiracy peaking!
* White Men Predators rigged the system.
They made themselves law enforcement, Congressmen, Senators, Bankers & Ministers!
It's one Huge Fraud Peaking!
Confront thm They Run!🏃♂️
They are more of the Elon and the merry doge bags just like Robin Hood except they are robbing the poor to give to the rich so they should be known as Hood Robin.
So glad you bring this up. I hate it when they keep referring to Musk as the wealthiest man in the world! NO that should be the last title we should give him: he is the most disturbed, egomaniac, pervert man in the world.
Doesn’t that definition imply the existence of good rich ppl? Billionaire might sound neutral to some because that’s the neoliberal capitalist culture we live in - it means we have work to do to change that.
It's even worse than that. These robber barons have so much money, they can literally feed entire nations, pay for each citizen's healthcare and education, yet still have millions to live comfortably for a hundred years. Yet it's never enough for these a-holes.
They like being called Oligarchs it makes them feel special and powerful.
Robber Barons or Morbidly Rich is a better description because it's negative.
Anyone who thinks billionaires should exist doesn't understand how much a billion is. 1 million seconds is 11 days. 1 billion seconds is 33 years. Elon Musk's horde is over 15000 years. At least it was. I hear he's haemorrhaging money. Shame
I think welfare queens and societal parasites works pretty well and turns their words on them. Republicans have already learned to hate those, so we just need to turn it toward the rightful target.

It sums them up neatly.
Trump and Musks are greedy bastards

The last one was an age of robber barons. It's a natural match.
That's their whole existence, to take as much as they can.
Just sayin'

Robber Baron sounds so gentle.
Although.. if I picture it more like Baron Harkonen...
You would reach more people, when you add a good description into the Alt-text field.
That is pretty easy, especially, when your image just contain text.
This way, you support visually impaired people and everyone else, who rely on a good filled Alt-text.

All they want is wealth (booty) for themselves and don't care if anyone else is hurt or benefited by what they do.
