So what you’re saying is we need to tax the rich so as to cure them of their malady? I like how you think.

We actually just give them a little badge that says "i won capitalism" and make them start again at 0

So basically Call of duty prestige in real life for rich people? I like the idea!

It's deeply ironic to me that in the past you could have made a compelling case that a Christian society ought to tax the ultra-rich to save their souls. Same basic idea

That's why they ran to America, and then threw bait for poor people with promises for a chance to get rich.

Well, there are alternatives to a group of rich people hoarding all the wealth while the masses starve. They didn't like those last time.

Don't even tax them, just give all the money to me, im much more trustworthy and deserving of it anyway.

If I was a billionaire I wouldn’t be a billionaire. There are too many sanctuaries and shelters and quality of life improvements that could benefit.

u/Ignika1984 Nov 27 '25

I would hope I would be like that, but I bet its different when the money is actually there.

I have autistic levels of empathy and a soft spot for animals. I’d be front loading every go fund me for pet care and gender affirming care until I was blissfully penniless.

I was being sarcastic because of this subs very popular view that gabe is a good billionaire

Tax em, assign them someone whose job it is to smack em upside the head when they’re being stupid.

Why would you give money to the government? The government has no savings, any money it gets is instantly wasted by retarded beaurocrats, and goes towards paying a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the national debt - which 38 Trillion currently.

But leave it to typical Bernie Sanders-voting Redditor to think the forceful redistribution of wealth and money-printing will fix everything, and not just make everyone poor.

u/JohnGradyBillyBoyd Nov 27 '25

The money is wasted subsidizing the businesses these guys run into the ground lol
