The easiest way to identify enemies of freedom and liberty. Count their net worth.
They need to regularly take a shit, like everybody else. They just use more expensive toilet paper I suppose.
Haha, those silly billionaires are just like me! Haven’t we all bought an election or two?
Except at their offices where they but the thinnest 1 ply air they possibly can.
I’m hungry.
Honestly, I try not to think about them. It’s an inherently selfish and self-serving class and they’ve got enough money to pay people to think about them, so I’m not going to do it for free.
Tax them.
Tax them. Kill them. Whatever order
We should probably deal with them sooner rather than later
Medium rare with a little bit of butter and thyme.
Same as that guys from yesterday. I would prefer a guillotine, but You gotta work with whatcha got.
They’re a cancer on society.
Forbes did the math once and determined that Smaug, a dragon embodied by greed and selfishness, is worth $62 billion. There are 17 people richer than him.
Smaug was shot in the heart and it was a morally good act.
Fyi that math was heavily contested, i agree with the sentiment but a literal mountain full of gold, assuming the market wouldnt crash, would make him the richest person on the planet.
We don’t actually know the size of the hoard, though. We know it’s big enough for him to sleep in it, and we know the Arkenstone was worth one share of it, but we don’t have specific numbers (at least, none I can see). Any valuation has to be an estimation, and any estimation will be contested.
Also, the value of gold today is 75 times that of what it was in the 1930s, which makes it even harder to put a price on Smaug’s hoard.
Regardless of the specific number, there is a certain level of wealth and greed that makes it morally good to shoot someone through the heart. Smaug is not the only one to have hit that threshold.
I’d be willing to bet that Smaug caused less death and destruction than many (if not most) billionaires
Bard the Bowman was to blame. He gave love a bad name.
I dont think about them
Asking this on lemmy is like asking a pack of wolves if they enjoy the taste of lamb. You already know the answer you’re going to get…
Is ok to ask for an AMEN now and then.
Wealth tax that goes directly to funding a billionaire audit program. It should create a self-perpetuating cycle that means IRS audits for all of them every year.
Yes this could fix it. But we’re here because of the exact same reason that if that law was magically on the books, it’d be rewritten or repealed almost instantly.
In the words of the next post on my feed: Boil ‘em, mash ‘em, stick ‘em in a stew
Bill-ion-aires!
