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."
Tax the rich is the moderate stance to eat the rich.
Well, then you’ll like this even less:
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.
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
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….
the financially obese are not a protected class de jure
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
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.
How is this "slammed" and not "whined at"?
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!
That guy looks like he needs a real good haircut
Would he prefer "burn out the rich"?
I am up for a hate crime
Guess I'm racist then...
🍽️ motherfucker.
Does this make "rich" the new R-word?
He's really not going to like "Eat The Rich."
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.
Fuck politico though, spokespeople for genocide.
And in some cases "anti-Semitic" I'd bet.
LOP
lol
His fellow mega-leech Nick Hanauer has some advice from the before-times
Lmao
How about, "murder that stale cracker?" Does that evoke sympathy in his tiny heart?
Ah yes, a fine addition to my collection
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.
I want him to cry more
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.
