im not a socialist but having that much money shouldn’t be real

it genuinely makes me cringe seeing people protest against taxes being raised for people who make above $400K a year (at least in America). like bro, that is the top fraction of a percent of people

And you want to increase the tax bracket even further, that's the point of your initial comment

yes let’s make every person pay the same amount in taxes, so single parents contribute 60% of their income but billionaires contribute 0.003% of their income. and that’s EXCLUDING corporate tax write-offs

every day you seem less and less like a real person

No one is talking about the same amount, I'm talking about the same percentage

the problem with raising taxes for billionaires is that they'll just leave the country/find any other way to avoid it, or even cut costs on their companies

idk if thats political swrry mods :3

in some cases yea but like
Bill Gates trying to help with water purification is cool but he loves to use his influence manipulate media

Elon Musk with SpaceX is very very cool, tesla is a good idea but its incredibly flawed, but he is way too impulsive for someone with that much money

most billionares are just straight assholes imo and should be taxed like crazy

should get properly taxed.

If you're paying taxes, AND donating to charity, yet still a billionaire. I don't really care.

i think this is the only correct take, billionaires are inevitable under capitalism but if those billionaires are paying taxes and reinvesting their wealth into the community, they’re doing their part. same reason i don’t give a fuck about hasanabi, he’s a socialist millionaire but it’s not his fault the economy exists how it does. as long as he’s contributing some of that wealth to the less fortunate (which he did with the earthquakes in turkey), then i could care less about how much he makes.

It makes no sense, sure if you built a whole empire by working your ass off you deserve to have a lot.
But huge amounts of money only lead to depravation and over consumption

I don't know how it is in the global scenario, but here in Brazil most of the billionaires are politicians who get this wealth by stealing public resources from social programs and important infrastructure works for the poorest, and the worst, they don't pay taxes because they are immune from paying taxes by our constitution just for being politicians, so for me they all have to die in a horrendous way with a lot of suffering.

They became bilionare because of the exploitation. They have the bargain on their favor cuz they use their employees as objects of political exchanges to not be tax really hard by the government. They don't care about the people who who suffer from this savage system. they only want to increase the profit margin and have more power. the population suffer from private hospitals that are too expensive( in some countries) , the pharmacy lobby and speculation of real estate(who, because of this, have to live in peripheries).
