No one likes higher taxes. But New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s plan to tax wealthy residents’ second homes has elicited a highly emotional response from two of the city’s richest.
We’re talking about people that are, objectively, richer than 99% of literally everyone else in the entire world. The point you’re trying to make is relatively meaningless in the current context.
Not really. You probably have all your needs met (enough food, somewhere comfortable to sleep) with leftover resources. Many in the world do not have their basic needs met. You could give your extra resources (everything above necessary food and board) to the poor. You are hoarding wealth from their perspective. Just like you see the billionaires hoarding wealth.
Oh I’m no hero, I’ve got way more than I need and I’m enjoying it. Not bezos levels, but quite fine thank you. But as such I can see the vitriol against the millionaires is rather hypocritical. And I can jerk off however I see fit.
I’m not the same evil as a billionaire, and that accusation tells us everything we need to know about you. I’ll gladly take the ire of folks like you, the things that make you clap are disgusting. Go live up to your username, that’s all you are to these malignant fucks.
So if I were a poor person in a 3rd world country who couldn’t afford dinner, let alone a phone, would the message that you have more than your share and should distribute your wealth be any less true?
Yes. Regular, average citizens don’t have the means to single handedly dismantle systemic issues. Should we all just exhaust ourselves into homelessness? What would that change? Should I sell off all my belongings and live in complete destitution to achieve your standard of moral and ethical ability to speak on any issue of societal justice with any level of validity? I could liquidate all of my value and it still wouldn’t be enough to change the situation for anyone in a 3rd world situation. Either give up all your belongings and donate ALL the proceeds to those in need or shut the fuck up you hypocrite. There are people who could single handedly make the world better, but it’s not anyone that’s struggling to pay rent and put food on the table, you smug jackass.

Don’t break an arm jerking yourself off, there, hero.

Then maybe shut the fuck up.
Why? U can stfu about billionaires being evil if you’re the same evil.
