this thread is kinda fascinating to me. i feel like i can experience the american point of view about politics by reading some of these posts, and that explains a lot. this is great!

True. Taking two of their 5 estates would be the equivalent of crucifying them.

Your theory is based on billionaires actually paying tax though?

Open your own business then. Stop worrying about what another man makes

except if you're actually doing any labor worthwhile enough to be "hard-earned" chances are you aren't the one reaping the benefits, the real money maker is earning 10x your check to tell u to do the work for him

Well yeah of course Id donate money too, Id donate at least 10 mil to Make A Wish and Id start a foundation to rebuild Baltimore and clean the streets up. But people in here are acting like Bill Gates should have most of his money taken and redistributed to the poor, which is wrong

I couldnt imagine working my whole life to have some dumbass come along and say "you have too much money, so Im taking most of it". Appaling to think about.

If A has 500 cars, and B walks 3 miles to the bus stop, break out the guillotines.

If A and B have cars, and the Earth is doomed in a way that will only effect the poorest C and D, build mass transit and go green.

This isn't envy you nerd. Nobody in this thread is arguing "actually all the money in the world should be mine personally". That's what the greedy robber barons we're going to drive extinct do.

Even the ones that have “done good with it” are still hurting working-class people in the long run. Creating a foundation, donating money, building a school etc. is all cool & stuff but taxing them more & increasing tax revenue would benefit the general public more than Elon Musk trying to go to mars.

and here i was claiming the american individualist weirdo was a stereotype
this thread leaves me speechless tbh
thinking that mark zuckerberg, jeff bezos are whatever are more important persons than public nurses, teachers, or whatever essential yet under-payed job with zero recognition is just crazy

f--- billionaires and f--- "businessmen", what kind of activity is that, come on, do something with your life

Elon Musk is one of the “good” billionaires & for every one of him, there’s probably like 10 billionaires that don’t give a s--- about the environment/working class people.
