Bill Burr calls on 'billionaires to be put down like rabid dogs' in podcast - Lemmy.World

Good. Need more of this.

I do think he’s quite wealthy though…

Bernie Sanders is out there talking about eating the rich…he always convienently leaves out that HE HIMSELF is rich.

I’m never sure if that’s meant to say like “Yeah, I’LL pay my fair share if we get all the other rich people to do it too”.

Or if it’s meant to be something that sounds good on a soundbyte that makes you angry at the rich…while you’re not supposed to know HE’S rich.

I never know what to take that context as.

Bernie isn’t rich. He’s in the low millions, which pretty much can’t even buy a home in most places anymore.

If someone has even 1 million dollars they’re rich. That’s the thing about numbers. They’re infinate.

You say you couldn’t even buy a house with a few million dollars? I could buy a house for $70,000.

For another $10,000 I could fit the house with solar, and use the other 900,000 to live off interest.

How is that not rich?

You do know what net worth is right? It’s combined wealth. A lot of people are worth 1mil or more… especially since the housing boom. This is some of the dumbest logic to bitch about someone who is worth a few million. Get your head out of your ass, bitching about millionaires is hilarious, while the billionaires are running the country.
I never bitched about him. I’ve said the same thing over and over and over. The comment was about context of why he’s saying to eat the rich, when that’s him.
And I’ve now repeated my self a few times. Being worth a few million is not rich anymore.
