The super-wealthy are a cancer on society, and just like cancer, they suck up all of the resources while killing the patient.
We shouldn’t. And he thinks that too. Cool.
god he’s so hot
It’s inspiring to see Americans are still fighting the good fight.
I agree with him. there’s no morally good reason to be hoarding that much money
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 hope he goes far and makes a lot of people uncomfortable. Brave man in a moment that needs brave people.
Order to eliminate all billionaires confirmed! To the Priuses, we ride!

/s I dont advicate violence and I agree billionaire level accrual of wealth shouldnt happen. When it does it should be taxed like FDR did it. We’ve never done so well as a country than when we had real progressive taxation. When Maga people talk about making america great agin, thats the era they are thinking about, when a single worker could support a whole family and buy a house and raise kids with a normal job, and a normal job was respected and dignified.

Billionaires are a byproduct of the capitalist system. People will always try to hoard money. What governments should try is to appropriately tax people according to their wealth, material possessions, assets etc and not merely because they earn money beyond a certain arbitrary threshold. In order to do this governments have to spy on their own people. And this will make many people mad.
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.
Nobody asked me, but I agree with him.
Do you think we should have billionaires?
Now he can add “Endorsed by PoopSpiderman” on his campaign website.
Not a common endorsement.

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.

She was working for a hedge fund when she met him and they were married for 26 years. She may have given away $19 billion of her fortune, but her net worth is still $36 billion, the same as the original divorce settlement.
lol. I don’t think she is as innocent as you make it seem 😂
Hence the maybe at the end. I always use qualifiers MOST of the time so I can weasel out of any statement I make.
So you just make sweeping nonsense statements, maybe.
This might induce me to donate to Mamdani’s campaign. I live in fucking Illinois btw.
I absolutely am
I live nowhere near NYC and I donated.
Tbf, that’s one of the better states on workers rights issues.
Honestly, even if you think billionaires should exist, it’s still the most logical action for Mamdani to oppose them as billionaires will do everything to stop him.
BBQ?
They should have one of these next to each city-owned grocery store.
