Communist is apparently cognate with hateful loser.

"Rich fucks", this poor excuse of human being has vocabulary of an aristocrat! What exactly did "rich fucks" do to him? Make money while he is tweeting hate speech? Pay taxes, so that he can get a health care and public schooling? Oh, those evil "rich fucks", how dare they?

This man gauges his own self-worth by his purse. As can be seen on his focus on, who buys what brand of clothing. He feels entitled to money of somebody else.

He is disgusting, not because he is not rich by his own standart, but because he has hatred for anybody, that might be better than him at his obssesion: Money.

To be fair, "rich fucks" haven't paid their share of taxes since 1980

During the past 40 years, the average tax rate of "rich fucks" has dropped from 35% to 15% (I pay more than 15% and I'm basically destitute, that's bullshit)



The problem is when rich people stop paying taxes... the rest of us have to pay twice as much... which is why the IRS is raping everyone in the ass

Donald Trump doesn't pay his taxes... and instead of creating jobs with the money, he buys a solid gold toilet to shit in

The government isn't going to stop spending... and the money has to come from somewhere... so if the rich aren't paying... who is?

[masterwakokok7]

This on point. People tend to judge the book by it's cover. This purely jealousy and hate, those who have insecurities in life tend to humiliate others to gain respect from the upper class people. Social climbing is a trend in this cruel world.

[HabBear]

The times when people shame poor people for spending on luxuries like Starbucks or (second hand) designer hand bags is when those poor people cry about not having enough money, cry about the wealthy needing to pay their fair share, or ask for handouts.

The wealthy have money, they should be able to spend it on whatever they want! And everyone else should welcome that spending because it allows the wealthy person's money to reenter the system to be distributed to business taxes, payroll income, and federal and local aid for those who are truly in need.

The energy of the people should be spent on trying to make the system more fair - which means if you work hard and earn money you should get to keep a lot of it, and if you live an honest life and need financial help you should have access to it.

I think the reason these news like gold facials or gold toilets don't draw so much ire is that people, at the back of their minds, also want them, or at least to be just as rich.

I don't have problems with people earning money, though it's very likely that with this trend, inequality could lead to social unrest.

From what I understand, the moneyed are allowed these breaks and privileges because they generate jobs for people. The government can't employ everyone.

The government usually only step in when the discontent from people become so great, like what happened to Rockefeller. (Though his business tactics can be quite brutal, his management skills were quite admirable IMHO, making products out of crude oil rather than dump them out into rivers like his competitors did.)

Rich people also are different. Steve jobs was always modest. I believe that those rich people who flaunt their luxurious lifestyle are not only cultural, but also intentionally cause a division in society. They are radicalizing infused in society and we see then the revolution.

I think the Rich dude deserves to live anyway that he likes as long as his or her style of living doesnt kill anyone. Its not his duty to give money to the less fortunate in society.

The point is that money is limited...

For example... let's say there is a total of $1,000,000 on the planet...

If one person takes $500,000, and another takes $250,000, and a third takes $125,000... 3 people now control 88% of all the money on the planet... leaving the other 7,500,000,000 people to fight over the remaining $125,000 (anyone see Hunger Games?)

This is the current situation... 5 people control HALF the wealth on the PLANET

it's the hoarding of money that screws poor people

When one person has so much money they can shit on a solid gold toilet... and an entire country (Yemen) is starving to death because they can't afford to buy food to feed their children... something is FUCKED UP

It's like the new American health care bill the republicans are trying to pass... it will kick 23,000,000 people off health insurance, more than double the insurance costs for elderly and people with pre-existing conditions (which they can't afford so they will die)... only to give a tax break of $500,000,000,000 to rich fucks who don't need the money

This health care bill WILL kill people for money... period... that's all it is... it's a tax break for rich fucks and people will die because of it... this is what happens when you let greedy fucks have all the money... they only want more money, and don't care who they kill to get it

This is a serious fucking problem

Is money really limited, it is very true that Bill Gates and the rest have half the wealth of the entire world, But he is doing a very good humanitarian job with his foundation, remember he donated half of his wealth some time ago to help the poor and he is doing a great job at that if only the other wealthy guys would follow suit, thats going to be good for the entire world because they aint gonna take the money to their graves when they die.

[TheCoinGrabber]

Money is limitless, if you can have a good idea that people are willing to pay for, you can have all the money you want. The problem with the situation today is that the accumulation of wealth has made the playing field quite uneven. It's fine if they'll play fair but no, you see them doing hostile takeovers, killing off competition that won't agree to a buy out, and lobbying for preferential treatment.

Money is limited... not by numbers, but by value/buying power

You can always create more money, but it devalues the money which is already in circulation...

If there is $1,000,000,000 in the whole world... a cheeseburger might costs $1... but if the money supply doubled, so would the cost of a cheeseburger...
If there is $10,000,000,000, a cheeseburger would cost $10... that's just how it works

It's not about the amount of dollars you have, it's about the % of the total you own

If 5 people hoard 50% of the money... the rest of the 7,500,000,000 people have to fight over the other 50% (but prices are double because half of the money supply is being hoarded)... and since prices are double, it hurts poor people the most, who spend their entire income just to provide food for their families... food they buy from the rich people, making them even richer

It's a vicious cycle... which is normally solved by high taxes on the rich... but here in 'Murica, the effective tax rate on wealthy has dropped from 35% to 15% since 1980... wealthy people have stopped paying taxes (like Donald Drumphf)

[Mometaskers]

It seems that the world is just going back to the way it was, when wealth was concentrated in the hands of the few. I've even heard some people point out that the increase in economic "equality" before was an anomaly and just a result of wars that somehow setback the rich.

Problem now is that with globalization, you can't just pick on them and say "hey, we want you to pay higher taxes". They can just move elsewhere. Same for private individuals, I believe some move to other countries to avoid the estate tax, etc.

[saddampbuh]

i worked near minimum wage for years having zero quality of life as i saved up money, learned amazon and affiliate marketing, set up a few businesses with an american guy and we're going to do about 1.5 million profit this year between us, next year it will be a lot more because we reinvest everything. about 1/3 of our money gets taken away from us in taxes until we figure out how to go offshore.

my colleagues from my old job, many of whom i still speak to, earned the same money as me but chose to spend it on their social lives, drinking, vacationing abroad and the usual temporal nonsense. they are all net zero tax contributors, meaning the £1.5k or so they pay in income tax doesn't nearly cover the cost of the housing benefit, healthcare and other government services they consume

moral of the story is nobody owes you shit. make better decisions in your life if you want to have more stuff.

[popcorn1]

I agree with you BUT i don't
because as long as they done everything legal  IT'S THERE MONEY do what they likes..

It's the POLITICIANS who let these peoples get away with murder for BACKHANDERS lots and lots of them ..
Yes they do speeches even though they got sacked for doing a shit job they get payed millions or 100s of thousand for speeches
I.E the favours they done for a company that's the BACKHANDERS ..Oh he done a speech  WHAT for 600K some fucking speech..

And the person got sacked or lost ..
But the firm never lost who they done the speech for though..

So if you think about it IF you make good cakes and sell them at a profit to millions or billions of people then you deserve to be rich and do whats
you likes IT'S YOUR MONEY and good luck to you..And people like this YOU SHOULD NEVER BE JEALOUS OF..

I mean the same with TECHNOLOGY it's like baking good cakes ..
Anything you make is your right to be rich ..

BUT what's not right if your making billions millions and fiddle taxes and pay politicians to give TAX BREAKS or pay to get a CONTRACT ..

Then yes i am JEALOUS because they are robbing our FUTURE CHILDREN out of healthcare schools nice areas to live in and nice clean streets
We all deserve to live like this EVERYONE..

So i am not jealous of the SUPER RICH because some are really nice people BUT some are RATS and would destroy this planet for a BUCK OR 2 .

When it's not there PLANET it belongs to our future CHILDREN..

[audaciousbeing]

In as much as there is no moral justification for mocking the poor but that does not mean the rich owe them anything as well. Quite a number of people have come from the most backward place of the society but they ended making names for themselves and thereby liberate their entire household without any limitation whatsoever. So the rich should give to the poor but the poor should also strive to live that position they so much hold dear.

[pearlmen]

The rich in my own opinion should give back to the society to the extent of what they can afford, not out of compulsion but out if free will.

[maku]

Inequality is the name of the game, the bane of human existence. Haven't you noticed that it was always like that?
In the past, society was fragmented as well, we had peasants, slaves and working class and nobility, kings, emperors to rule.
Today we have these 'rich fucks' who had taken the place of nobility. If social unrest will continue to rise then we will have a revolution in the future.

[squatz1]

The only issue I'd be having with this statement is that if a person is poor, not working, using welfare programs or even abusing welfare programs, they SHOULDN'T be using these sort of luxuries. I know I may be contradicting what was written, but in all honesty you should be making the smart decision for yourself and for your family to be using that money in the right way and not WASTING it on these sort of things.

I know I'm going to be called out for playing into what this tweet is saying is the worst, but you could get a much higher BANG for your BUCK for coffee if you don't go to starbucks, or do this, or do that. So, that's just my two cents.

[Croin]

Go for it!
