Would be cool if they stopped buying houses in bulk to dodge paying the corporate tax. Would free up houses for people who actually need them.


So many people live without homes because of billionaire's greed and speculation. We are just slaves to these vultures. I am blessed to have my own home. I wish more Americans had that opportunity.

I think the problem is too many people see themselves in billionaires. People need to stop doing this. I am not criticizing you or your hard work or anything you earned.

None of you are billionaires. I am fairly certain of that. Stop defending them. They only exploit you.

You kinda make the Chinese Communist Party sound like a decent democratic and capitalistic political entity.

The CCP is purely capitalist, yeah. This isn't really a secret. They do a better job nipping off the top 1% at times, which is a low bar.

The issue with the Chinese Communist Party is rampant corruption and censorship. They are just another country going through an industrial capitalist boom like America did prior. But the issues of corruption and censorship within the CCP are either equal to or paled in comparison to the corruption of our own system.

The reason why American and western propaganda works so hard against China is because they are the direct competitor and innovator. They do what we do. They just do it better.

Every single one of them is more worthless than a common thief. They are the ultimate leech on society. If you think billionaires innovate: They do not. If you think billionaires create jobs: They don't.

Billionaires are serial frauds, thieves, and con-men.

If any billionaire appeals to you because of their politics or ideology just know this: It's fake. They couldn't care less if you died in a ditch if it meant their primary share holdings went up by 2 points.

And most importantly: They are all hell-bound. Matthew 19:16-28


If billionaire is no Christian or of Abrahamic religion, is he still hell bound though?

You are projecting your own envy onto me. You defend these billionaires because you wish to obtain what they have.

All of what you just said is untrue. Billionaires are not responsible nor necessary for anything you just mentioned. Plenty of industries, goods, and innovations happened without billionaires. In fact I'd argue the most important ones in humanity were.


Imagine being this out of touch

I GUARANTEE… this post was made by someone who can’t do AT LEAST TWO of the following:

Hunt
Fish
Grow own food
Perform medical procedures
Make all of their own household goods

Billionaires RUN the industries that help compensate for people’s lack of skills in such things by gathering people and items that can compensate for other’s shortcomings in one place.

ding ding ding
the venn diagram of
>utterly reliant on products and services provided by billionaires
and
>rants against billionaires on an existential level
is a perfect circle

If anything the world is more at risk of a palace-economy collapse echoing the late bronze age. Almost everyone in the western world is nine meals from anarchy
If you live in a society with total centralization of resources and their distribution, guess what happens when you kill the kulaks and send people to live in communes
