Nov 25, 2018 Why should a billionaire have to pay for someone elses healthcare when, it most cases, they put themselves in that place? Are there problems with our healthcare systems and such? Easily, we have lots of problems that need fixing. But why should we mandate people who have, again for the most part, worked for their money and what they own, give up their money forcefully? I think I do have the moral high ground as Im not advocating theft and insane taxation. Sure, you can make the arguement that no one needs a billion dollars, but you can not just take someones money because they have more than you
Nov 25, 2018 Actually, you can. As a child, you probably read/watched Robin Hood and understood who was the good guy and who was the bad guy. Unfortunately, now you're stupid.
Nov 25, 2018 Actually, I never did Youre still a dumbass who spends all day on a hip hop forum trying to convert people to communism
Nov 25, 2018 The 75 year old hero of socialism bernie sanders tells you all to give away all of your money while he still has 5 houses. He should give them all away to homeless people and move into a trailer
Nov 25, 2018 Soo they fall under this category as well? I do btw think they give a lot back to the community
Nov 25, 2018 Yes they would And theyre still billionaires so they obviously arent donating enough. They should donate .999% of their wealth and only leave themselves with 1 Million because thats more than enough for them to live off of
Nov 25, 2018 Jay-Z is a black nationalist whose wealth is built on exploitation just like any other rich person. Beyonce's female empowerment clothing line was manufactured by women in Sri Lankan sweat shops. Changing the melanin content of capitalism isn't radical.
Nov 25, 2018 Jeff Bezos has done more for the world and humanity than you or anyone on this forun has or will ever do
Nov 25, 2018 It’s not just billionaires paying for it, it’s everyone’s taxes paying for it. Billionaires should be paying more because they can afford it. They aren’t going to starve or struggle to pay their bills if they pay more in taxes.
Nov 25, 2018 No one’s proposed that a billionaire should lose 99% of their wealth in this thread. It’s a bait title but the idea is just that rich people should pay more in taxes because they can afford to and we should care more about helping 99% of people in our country than we do the 1%. The only reason people think this is unfair is because they’ve been raised in a society where they’ve been taught it is. I used to think the same thing when I was younger but as I got older and had more life experience and worked for corporations that slash employee healthcare plans while VPs get six digit bonuses...you realize this s--- doesn’t make sense. It involves a distinct lack of empathy that’s passed down to us. Me paying ~20% of my income in taxes hurts my quality of life far more than a billionaire paying ~80% of their income in taxes (which I’m not saying should be the percent they pay, just an example of the vast gap in wealth).
Nov 25, 2018 I assume if not all, atleast most billionaires donate a substantial amount of money to charity each year. Even if it's just for tax purposes, these people are still doing quite a bit of good.
Nov 25, 2018 Hoarding mass amounts of resources and piecing them out to your own benefit isn't charity. You're so cuckolded by rich people you think them letting you massage your girlfriend's feet while she's getting her p---- blown out is an act of philanthropy.
Nov 25, 2018 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
