The fact that you can’t raise taxes on billionaires even slightly without them pouring money into fascist political movements is, of itself, evidence that billionaires as a class shouldn’t be allowed to exist in the first place.

You, ah, don’t think it’s unfair to judge people’s morals based on their finances?

[quasi-normalcy]

I, ah, think that it’s perfectly fair to judge people’s morals based on the amount of money they pour into neo-nazi political movements, yeah actually.

And what about the billionaires that don’t? Condemn all billionaires no matter what I guess

[hellanahmean]

There is no ethical way to be a billionaire.

[thewickedbohemian]

But why?

[hellanahmean]

Because there are a limited amount of resources and currency. To have that much wealth you have to exploit others.

Do I gotta go find that post that demonstrates exactly how much a billion is? Because it’s a lot more than people think. Like, you know that saying that “a million dollars isn’t what it used to be”? Yeah? Well maybe that’s true for people who have a million dollars, but I still sure as fuck have never seen a million dollars and chances are I never will. Nor will most people. Eat the rich.
