The sooner they learn that "tax the rich" is the moderate compromise, the better

Praised and thanked? Careful Steve, you might dislocate your shoulder or wrist when you jerk yourself off that hard. I'll praise and thank any billionaire that pays their fair share of taxes, pays their employees ALL a living wage, and doesn't spend money influencing political or corporate ideals (aka when hell freezes over).

He's gonna be dismayed to learn what people will be calling for if they continue to squeeze the working class.

ROFLMAO Actually laughed out loud at this. 😂 Like, we all assumed they were comically evil villains and we joke that they might talk and think like this. But the confirmation of it is somehow hilarious to me. Their complete lack of understanding of the world, the zero self awareness, the cheap attempt for sympathy while lounging on the weary bones of the entire working class. If EVER we needed that smoking gun to show that class has nothing to do with intelligence or hard work, this definitely goes on the wall. LOL, sir. 🖕 Taxes are the *most* humane thing coming to you and your ilk, you filthy curr. I thumb my nose at you, indeed! Go forth and repent to all those you hath wronged, or freely go fucketh thyself to expiry, thank you VERY MUCH.

I'm perfectly fine with vivisecting them, if he prefers that

I've always preferred "eat the rich" anyways.

IDK man, slurs seem preferable to slugs.

If that's true then I'm a massive racist.

If only they had some way to disassociate themselves from that demographic… Too bad they were born into it :( Let’s all cry for the billionaires.

Are the rich really a race? I don't think so
-
@FlowerFan@piefed.blahaj.zone 2026-05-06 20:50
I mean, it can. Or it can be just meant as a "let every member profiting from society pay back to it accordingly". Most of the time it's the latter.
