Derò 🇨🇦@Strandjunker What about Trump?
Nazo@Dero_10 @Strandjunker Pretty sure his net worth is like -$13 trillion.
Amorpheus@Dero_10 @Strandjunker What about Putin?
Redish Lab
Neputunu@Strandjunker Actually the three words I would've chosen would be "Increase minimum wage."
luca@Strandjunker it would be great, but nobody's gonna do it. A real tax would require a hell of a revolution, and that isn't gonna happen in any 'western', 'modern' country.
Any supporting politician knows that an instability is a potential disaster, so they're trained to inflame first and to chill down if getting in charge.
Any big revolution has shown well to pass thru poverty, despair, isolation, and return to even stricter absolutisms.
So what? If I had good advice I wouldn't be here.

@Strandjunker You spell 'eat' funny.
A. No, née: Moose@Strandjunker sorry, the time for that to change anything has passed. We need more radical measures!
OldFartPhil@Strandjunker Have you shopped for a superyacht recently? Inflation has been brutal and a billion just doesn't go as far as it used to. Won't someone think of the billionaires?
~* Sarah@Strandjunker Elizabeth Warren is proposing a wealth tax. It's only 2% over $50 million and 3% over a billion... but better than nothing?
MayhamMonday@Strandjunker after listening to the latest social media court case win on the news if they aren't going to tax them, sue them for damages!
Fluffy Kitty Cat@Strandjunker no wonder we're spiraling Into totalitarianism
Barbara Monaco@Strandjunker Obscene.
Bebadefabo@Strandjunker I can't help but notice that in that time span, none of them have managed to become resistant to high velocity rifle rounds.
Darth Osler@Strandjunker compost is a good synonym for tax
ReverendD@Strandjunker Everything is so adulterated at this point if you want to keep the pretense of money you almost need to start over at zero and spank a bunch of people.
Or send them to an island to start a New Game + together.
SatanicPanDick@Strandjunker Tax the rich. If they complain, we drop the "T" from "tax".
@Strandjunker these rich animals when they lose a PENNY their fire 10000s of employees so they can recup the PENNY
Mr Taylor@Strandjunker
*eat the rich.
*eat the rich.
ArchiveScribe@Strandjunker 100% income tax on all billionaires will solve this right and quick. Think of what we could do with that stolen loot for people in this country.
levampyre@archivescribe Not sure. I don't think their wealth is in income. Probably, most of the time it's not. And I've heard several times about the "virtuous modesty" of a rich entrepreneur type, who doesn't even pay himself a salary from his own company. Income is sth workers have, wage and salary. But rich ppl have interests, equity, capex & opex, receivables, estates and other forms of property. So the shit that should be taxed to target them, I guess, is financial transactions.
François @Jura@Strandjunker and all these f*ckers financed the dismantling of USAID. F them, they are criminals.
ĞÖKÜ👻👻™@Strandjunker wow, I want to be rich now 😁
LR@Strandjunker at this rate we will run out of money
Gytis Repečka@Strandjunker Pretty clear where the wealth of mentioned oligarchs come 
karl55
Chaddicus@Strandjunker they made their money on our labor, sometimes even on our pain and suffering. It's only fair that we get some of it back in government services.
HTPC NZ@Strandjunker people who keep saying BS Gen AI bubble is going burst any second don't seem to look at fElon's wealth... He, on his own conned everyone for over a decade, his wealth & his company values have gone through the roof without crashing...
HeikeJanka@Strandjunker It's not much different over here:

Klaus-Michael Kühne

Ric@Strandjunker genuinely shocked that the minimum wage is so low over there!
For comparison, UK minimum is currently £12.21, increasing to £12.71 in April. That's about $16.88 USD.
Francesco Marini@Strandjunker I would suggest another three words: Eat the rich [there’s only one thing that they’re good for]
