What a disgusting person.

Ok.
Eat the rich.
If Hell was real it wouldn’t be hot enough for this fuck and every other billionaire alive today.
The key difference is you can always stop being 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.
He really won't like what people replace 'tax' with if they're not allowed to say "tax the rich."
"Ax the rich".
Wealth inequality is killing quality if life. We would like to put that wealth to productive use through taxation and government investments, but setting it on fire (metaphorically) would still leave the average person better off.
If we can't tax it or destroy it, then people will be pushed further and further until they have nothing to lose, and after that, things will get ugly.

Brooother this guy is dense. We are proposing to kill/eat the rich in general. Thats obviously more of a threat than taxes.
I actually agree what I think he meant was that the rich would rather be killed than taxed. Maybe it was just phrased poorly
Yeah, killed just means they're estate gets taxed during inheritance but by that point thay're dead so it's illogical to care. Much more realistic a narcissistic personality grasps for ways to avoid any unsavory changes in wealth status vs literally dying. They aren't afraid of their life insurance policy activating, actually they might even look forward to it in a strange way.
Right up until the moment it is.
Everything dies. We literally do not know how to stop this. We're real good at helping it along though.
The uber rich didn't build a bunch of bunkers to protect themselves from...taxes.
Tax the rich is the moderate stance to eat the rich.
No not at all. How can you compare making people pay taxes they owe with people talking about eating them.
Let there be millionaires and billionaires, but they have to pay a lot of taxes for how much they get.
Some billionaires pay less in taxes a year then poor people do.
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.
Israelis are not a marginalized community for the record despite their victim playing, but I take your point.
Is he implying that he believes "rich = Jewish"? Because if so, how anti-semitic of him.
I have no qualms with working-class Jews.
Likewise, I think all billionaire oligarchs need to be taxed at higher rates. (Currently they're taxed less than the working class; being compelled to pay your fair share isn't prejudicial!). Race/ethnicity/religion simply doesn't factor into it.
Fuckin’ compost the rich. Can’t eat ‘em, might as well use ‘em to grow food. Grind ‘em up and let ‘em rot.
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
Imagine thinking you're better than others because you're good at amassing wealth.
Everywhere around you people are suffering but because of your innate superiority you are not only not suffering, you have far more than you could ever hope to need, and you cling to it white-knuckled like it's going to stand up and walk away.
Congratulations, you are the smelliest sphincter.
The interesting thing is that the media trained us to admire these people, and listen with bated breath to their advice. When in fact they are the last people we should ask for any kind of moral guidance. Their greed has made literally every major societal issue worse. Fortunately, I think that illusion is dissolving, and more and more it's a majority opinion that the rich are too rich and it needs to stop. Lots of disagreement on how to stop it, unfortunately
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.
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...
Statements like this from people like him just tell me that they are scared.
He might change his tune when he realizes the alternative is guillotines….
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.
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
Baby eating...?
The child rape is common knowledge at this point. Not as many people know about the baby eating.
You literally didn't make sense in either comment. You're mad because I have zero clue what you're referring to?
I am not mad at you, I don't give a fig about you
Now the baby eating ,child-raping lizard people, them I'm mad at
Your deleted comment suggests you were mad at me. Thanks for your help
Ps. Are the lizard people in the room with you right now?
The mods deleted it, not me
As I said, I don't give a fig about you
cheers
I know all that. You still told me to "fuk off" and no one alive would be able to figure out why
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.
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.
He's got more money than the average person, but he's only got 3/5 their value.
It seems the rich simply don't understand that their wealth is only made possible because the masses allow it. And that insane wealth is an imbalance in society that needs to be fixed, both because it is socially unjust, but also because it is undermining democracy.
Also the rich are are leeches on society, that leech hundreds of times more than they need. Very different from an unemployed or sick or single mom that only get the help they actually need to scrape by.
The sense of entitlement among the rich is insane, as in literally insane and disconnected from reality.
The rich are universally rich entirely by continually choosing to ignore the plight of the poor and slinging bootstrap condemnations. No identity sustained by evil choosing can be equated with racism.
The taxes just went 5% higher
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!
Does this make "rich" the new R-word?
Tax them?
No no no no no.
We're eating them.
It's sorta like the opposite of veal:
The more financially bloated, gorged and aged the landlord is... the more succulent the screams.
... I mean flesh.
Anyway, I can't help it that the traditional method of preparing the dish is a guillotine... its just a traditional thing, very classy imo.
Personally, I like to pair the feast with a gunpowder shot... just an explosive combination of flavors, if you ask me.
There's no better show of opulence than to take one nibble and throw the rest away because you changed your mind.
I mean you could at least save it as a treat for your cat or dog, but yeah, I'm mostly in it for the screams, the incredulous existential crisis.
His fellow mega-leech Nick Hanauer has some advice from the before-times
How about, "murder that stale cracker?" Does that evoke sympathy in his tiny heart?
Then it would have been the first class that actually deserved the slurs, because you chose this
Poor rich, if they tax our landlords they will just have to pack up and go gentrify tax havens overseas, so we have to exempt them from taxes, or else the chinese will win the race to the bottom! /s
It's almost too stupid to satirize.
