    Blablabla I don’t care about her life story, wtf does she mean “for the sake of it”? Nobody wants to raise taxes for shits and giggles!

      She married into one of the most powerful and wealthy families in history. She means “why should we pay for the plebs?”

        I get the joke but seriously, I couldn’t care less how much money they hoard if it wasn’t desperately needed elsewhere. Taxing the rich is neither for shits and giggles nor for the sake of it.

        Edit: man, I wish I’d learn to keep my stupid mouth shut instead of always inadvertently provoking misunderstandings.

          Taxing the rich is not just “oh we as a society want money to do things, so let’s take that money from the people who have it”.

          Taxing the rich is about removing the incentives that wealthy people have to seek out and hoard more wealth. Get them to stop trying to control everything and seek rents. Convince them to just be satisfied with being, in 2025, a USD hundred-millionaire. Force them to enjoy an early retirement.

    When we chop your head off, all your money will be taken, you cunt.

    You can be nice or you can be headless. This future is unavoidable.

    they actually should. just taking it and destroying it would still reduce economic inequality. Using it for infrastructure is just exponentially increases its value and doing something like a citizens income is another exponential leap.

      Surely we can find welfare policies to cut. I mean, do your kids REALLY need to eat EVERY day? /s

      Edit: Why’d you delete…? That was a valid question.
