It kinda feels like we are at an impossible to task to "make things more fair", politicians are throwing things up like "tax cuts" that only benefit the ultra rich, like always, talk about "tips" and how that should not be taxes?

The solution is quite fcking simple:

- INCREASE THE MINIMUM WAGE ⚠️
- TAX THE RICH (SO MUUCH)⚠️

THAT is how we make things more fair in the economy and not with bullshit laws that are only made for the wealthy!

Again, what do I know. I'm only human no politician

And STOP with bullshit excuses like:

"Yeaaaahh... but if we tax the rich they will leave our country for a better tax heaven"

My response:

LET THEM!

I'll help them move, rather yesterday!

If the rich don't wanna pay up, kick them out or put them in jail 🤷 That's what happens with other people also if they EVADE tax like the rich do

Personally I'm so done with this stupid game

I'll say it again..

If you are a billionaire.. you have a serious sickness.

There is no valid reason in this universe one should hord so much while so much suffer

Billionaires have an illeness.

@stux as I understand (and I'm open to a honest and respectful conversation), billionaires don't keep their money under the cushion. Their wealth is not sitting still on a bank account. It's all assets, which is usually businesses, companies, investments that give people jobs, allow new business to be created, and grow. All of which help societies to offer better and more accessible services and products, improving everyone's lives and creating more wealth for everyone.

@pplupo In some cases for sure but not all unfort, and if they are it's the question in far of a capacity they really provide such things

Elon would be a good example of a "useless billionaire" while Gates would be perhaps more in the first cat

@pplupo And it's not about "hording money" perse as it is avoiding paying taxes for example, so taking their part in the "normal way" of contributing instead of their "special billionaire way" with "giving jobs" that benefit taxes left and right

It's like the more capital one owns the less responsiblity they seem to have "beacuse they give us X or Y"

@stux where are they taking the money from? There's not enough money laying around, it's all in the asset's, which is extremely beneficial. Much more than the actual taxes, because it's allowing everyone to get money in their pockets too.
@stux I want to take the chance to appreciate the respectful conversation. Thank you for the opportunity.
