    Yeah but Bill Gates is going to give away his multi billion fortune before his death you know! On his own terms and conditions! There are good billionaires you know!

      I think we can fit in an exception. “good” billionaires don’t get executed and are sent to live on penal colonies in space under strict supervision with 10 hour work days and no vacation or sick-time. Rest are mulched.

      Even then, Bill Gates ain’t a good billionaire. The amount of damage he has done doesn’t even compare to the money he gives away after death.

    We’re beyond the mere concept of taxation for these people. What needs to be done to the rich involves a video game where one uses blocks to build stuff.

    Should compare the wealth of billionaires to the wealth of the middle and lower class. The point still holds true but people can’t accuse you of comparing apples to oranges.

    It’s beyond me how the majority of people aren’t yearning for a change in the world, especially as of late and the obvious growing inequalities. Where is their rage? Where is the violent justice? Revolution! Revolution!

    @big_spoon I don’t like advocating for evil, but this meme is pure “Oh look, these three found a way to make shitton of money. They should be earning that for everyone else!”

    I don’t know… replace the three panels with inflation rate, minimum wage rate, lifestyle quality and it becomes more than alarming in my eyes as well.

    Sure, tax the rich *might* be the solution. But those guys couldn’t and shouldn’t give a shit about how much poor people make.

    Fuck that we are way beyound taxing! THIS same tax narrative has been pushed by the plutocrat regressives liberal for decades now with no action.

    As you cannot vote your way out of Facasium and broken by design systems, you can’t for capitalism and the plutocrat fascist of the oligarchy kleptocracy that keep this cancer without limits alive .

    I have such frustrations with people that just argue about the little things. And the little things aren’t little things, but it’s like the cart before the horse. Like we don’t have leverage, you know? We don’t have ground to stand on. So why argue about things? Like what about material conditions? Your ability to just fucking live? I mean, we are at a point now in history where it blows my mind that we haven’t revolted by now.

    tax them with every second of stolen labor from other people’s lives and take it out of their own

    unfortunately that would mean all of them would be summarily executed. unfortunately.
