JA Westenbergpeople say “you can’t tax the rich, they’ll just leave” like that’s not the best possible outcome
Kenny Park@Daojoan "Leave?! Oh, no! How will our country _survive_ without a handful of psychos hoovering up all the money?"
Flic@KennyPark @Daojoan I like when the whole of the western world decided austerity and trickle-down economics was the best way to solve a recession so they started calling them "wealth creators" rather than what they actually are, which is hoarders. Is Scrooge McDuck a "wealth creator"?

@franebleu I think of a malignant tumour every time an economist or politician goes on about "growth". Infinite growth forever. Must seem like a good idea to the tumour, too, but the host it's feeding off will take the tumour with it when it inevitably dies.
