He really won't like what people replace 'tax' with if they're not allowed to say "tax the rich."

Roth on Tuesday stressed the significant contributions of the city’s wealthiest residents to its tax base and said these members of the so-called one-percent are “not enemies” and are “at the top of the great American economic pyramid for a reason.”

There it is. The "we're better than you and deserve more" conceit.

I wonder how he feels about "eat the rich".

Fuck him.

Tax the rich is the moderate stance to eat the rich.

Haha wow he really tried to throw some antisemitism in there too.

“I must say that I consider the phrase tax the rich — [..] to be just as hateful as some disgusting racial slurs, and even the phrase ‘from the river to the sea,’” Roth said.

I think you get a good peek into the psyche of powerful people when they use inappropriate terms from marginalized communities as a shield against just actions or comments made against them. It implies they see those genuine complaints from minorities as something merely performative - a tool for sympathy, a shield from criticism. It reveals narcissism and a lack of empathy.

Well, then you’ll like this even less:

eat the rich

He might change his tune when he realizes the alternative is guillotines….

He's really not going to like "Eat The Rich."

Some of them were born this way I suppose lol. They are a self-selected group of greedy people. There has never been an easier group to vilify, because they are literally villains, hoarding resources that others desperately need

Billionaires aren’t scared enough.

Fuckin’ compost the rich. Can’t eat ‘em, might as well use ‘em to grow food. Grind ‘em up and let ‘em rot.

Us: You have way too much money, we should share it more equitably so people don’t starve and stuff.

Them: You have done me a racism.

Wealthy people hoard wealth to the detriment of the rest of society causing poverty, crime, death, and destruction. Billionaires shouldn't exist, taxing is only 1 option.

Lmao

I can hardly wait for the guillotines to get sharpened up

...I suspect it will come as a surprise to many of the lizard people that they bleed just like us plebes

Except there is waaaaay more of us, and we have had enough of their baby eating and child raping

Wow. He has a real god complex thinking he should be "praised and thanked." Next he'll be mandating that his name should not be used in vain.

the financially obese are not a protected class de jure

Fuck politico though, spokespeople for genocide.

Statements like this from people like him just tell me that they are scared.

Compost the rich*

I wouldn't recommend eating them - you'd probably catch something nasty. Grinding them up and feeding them to worms is far more appropriate!

I am up for a hate crime

Crikey, that parasite is really going to be really upset about my "guillotine the rich' policy!!

Though there's a lot to be said about the "woodchipper the rich" argument...

How is this "slammed" and not "whined at"?

Would he prefer "burn out the rich"?

He's got more money than the average person, but he's only got 3/5 their value.

Perfect this goddamned country is full of racists, redirecting their energy to call the billionaire scum out on being the scum they are perfect... If the poor billionaire thinks it's racist they can easily solve the problem by not being billionaires.

Burn the rich.

The taxes just went 5% higher

How about, "murder that stale cracker?" Does that evoke sympathy in his tiny heart?

🍽️ motherfucker.

"Come on guys, I know I'm wealth hoarding and I most probably didn't take human morals into account when I acquired it, but I have feelings okay!"
