Bitch, taxing the rich is the humane option

Guillotine the rich

I feel like Mr. Roth has forgotten that being taxed is the alternative we came up with to beheadings for the upper class when they got too rich and powerful.

Waaah wahh

These people are lucky. No ones eaten them yet.

Perhaps he would prefer “Eradicate the rich.”

(Through even more taxation, of course.)

"He will learn over time that growing a tax base is a winner and raising taxes is a loser … and that the hard-working 1% are allies, not enemies.”

Translation: "we're still working on finding ways to make him do our bidding"

Just to highlight that as a real estate magnate, his entire empire is built on rent-seeking, i.e. accumulating wealth by the hoarding of a limited resource, without having created anything of value.

This billionaire did not create a billion dollars of value for society, even indirectly; he only took it from others.

“I’m afraid of the poors!”

Boys, we have them right where we want them.

we’re gonna eat you, you rich motherfuckers

He views the Rich as a separate ethnic group.

from wiki:

An ethnicity or ethnic group is a group of humans who identify with each other on the basis of perceived shared attributes that distinguish them from other groups. Attributes that ethnicities believe to share include language, culture, common sets of ancestry, traditions, society, religion, history, or social treatment.

He's mostly right, but that doesn't invalidate criticisms of the Rich.

Oh, I think he'll like this inevitable outcome then.

"We want you to pay your fair share of taxes to maintain the system you enjoy the benefits and protection of." = slur?

Eat all of my shit and hair, Steve Roth. You sound like a real turd of a human being.

"TAX" is going to be the softest, most palateable verb that will be done to them, the alternatives are a little less polite.

Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

"Tax the rich" is putting it very nicely.

They've dehumanized themselves with their monstrous exploitation.

Tax that peckerwood until he starts singing spirituals.

Bring back the tax brackets from the 1960's. That should solve the problems. Fucking Ronnie Reagan and his deregulation.

From the crowd that came up with gems as "bank accounts are citizenship", "transactions are free speech" and "attorney fees are justice". Comes the latest madness "tax is a hate crime".

What a little pathetic bitch. Eat the rich

"Tax the rich" is the 99% being nice. We could go the France in 1792 route.

There's only 700 billionaires in America, and I think we should kill every single one.

A wealth tax a day keeps the guillotine away.

Tax is the compromise

The French have a good historical case for what should happen if that fails

You're the best! Thank you so much for exploiting thousands of employees and customers to acquire a stupendous fortune!

He doesn't realize that this perspective proves exactly what he thinks of his employees and customers... to him they are nothing more than a despised, but necessary, resource to exploit ruthlessly.

Also, let's remember that his tax rate is much lower than that of an Arby's employee. Hateful and disgusting indeed

Man with more money than he could possibly use in his life is upset at the suggestion that some portion of the money he will never used could be used to help other people.

Being a billionaire is a sign of mental illness and needs to start being treated as such.

It's true. I am bigoted against the wealthy. Proudly.

Mamdani is choosing the lesser evil here my dear rich person... The other options is: we kill you.

sure fine whatever

here’s another

kill em all

off with his head

Rich is not a race. It’s not a characteristic that you’re born with.

I don’t understand why media prints stuff like this as if it’s a valid point that needs to be explored

Is "guillotine" a softer word? We could and should just use that instead. I'm all about catering to the elites' baby soft thin skin.

Quite unlikely that any of his ancestors worked the cotton fields. He probably thinks he's a self made man.

It he prefers "eat the rich", I won't object.

1. Overwhelmingly rich isn't a race
2. There are ways to solve being rich
3. There are other options if you don't like those but bring a pillow for your head to land on.

JFC, how out of touch can you be from reality?

lynch him
