He’s absolutely right. Billionaires should not exist.
Wealth concentration is bad for everyone but the wealthy. https://inequality.org/facts/
IDK even they don’t seem happy. Elon seems fucking miserable. I mean, I don’t feel bad for them, but knowing that literally everyone thinks the world would be a better place without you can’t feel great.
And one of the reasons why there’s so much more wealth inequality now is what conservatives have done to the tax code. Take a loot at this chart on the highest tax bracket over time.
Wholly agreed. There are no ethical billionaires. Fight me.
Jesus said it best
It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Damnit Zohran… I can only get sooo hard…
I heard a rumor once that something called ‘greed’ was considered a sin.
There might be others that are relevant too.
These ‘sins’ and their opposing ‘virtures’ where considered such because of how they effected the communities influenced by them.
Nobody asked me, but I agree with him.
Now he can add “Endorsed by PoopSpiderman” on his campaign website.
Not a common endorsement.
Do you think we should have billionaires?
The super-wealthy are a cancer on society, and just like cancer, they suck up all of the resources while killing the patient.
He is right.
Imagine a “billionaire” in the wild: An animal sitting on a vast horde of food that it could never eat while others starved around it … yea, it would not last long.
Imagine a “billionaire” in a living body. A corporate money making entity would basically be a cancer that had to be removed to save the life of the patient.
Good, I agree.
He has painted a target on his own back though and he should be careful, lest he gets JFK’d or RFK’d.
I agree with him. there’s no morally good reason to be hoarding that much money
We shouldn’t. And he thinks that too. Cool.
Centrists already hated him, and now he said their gods shouldn’t exist.
“Centrist” is just a masquerade for Republicrats to pretend to still be on the left.
I’m pro LGBTQ, anti-israel, against consumerism/capitalism, pro socialism. Pro government control on key infrastructure (water, gas, electricity) and better housing and support services. Pro climate policies, pro taxing the rich.
But I’m also against fossil fuel bans, against bans on firearms, pro military for defence, pro free-speech, pro strict immigration, against ‘PC’ culture, against trans-women in women’s sports, pro merit success.
Am I left or right? …Or centrist?
You are a National Socialist. Your kind joined the Nazis as street thugs, and were very useful until shortly before the Night of the Long Knives, when your demands for the socialist part of the platform would have seen you killed or otherwise purged.
Bill Ackman, a billionaire hedge fund manager who has backed President Donald Trump in the past, on Thursday pledged to use his money to bankroll a challenger to Mamdani in the general election.
Case in point.
And how did he get those billions? How many peoples necks did he have to step on to climb his way up. It’s not so much what you do with your billions, it’s how you got them that makes you evil. The only exception to this is probably Bezos ex wife, maybe.

This needs to become the mainstream opinion. Billionaires and ultra wealthy shouldn’t exist. There is no trickling down or any of that stolen wealth coming back into the hands of average people.
Greed needs to be treated as an addiction just like alcoholism or gambling.
I worry the billionaires will send assassins after him. It would cost them so much less than what he’s suggesting.
This is an illustration of why it’s a problem in the first place.
Oooooh! He said the thing!
