Amazing how they'll spend all that money to protect their comfort and exploitation but NOT just PAY THEIR TAXES at a reasonable rate?? They cannot see how this is a brain sickness and their money has made them disordered hoarders and a drain on society. People would like them if they just put the money back into the system that enabled them to extract it in the first place, but they don't understand the concept of enough. Frankly, they need to be saved from their money just as much as we need to be saved from their greed.
As Mamdani has said, some of them are literally spending more money than he would tax them which just shows how poisoned they are.
Not poisoned enough IMHO.
I had to read this six times before it would stick to my brain. I literally couldn't believe it on some deep, fundamental level.
"Poisoned" is right. I'd love to hear what psychology is at work here, because it ain't a matter of basic math.
Just remember that a lot of the money that these people have has been stolen from the people who have worked for them and their companies whom they've grossly underpaid, some of them for literally decades.
I can't forget. Wage theft is the most common crime today, and the same criminals have the gall to point at poor people stealing diapers for their children who are hungry cause the wages aren't livable IF they even get paid. It's sick and it has to change.
The "you have mettled, Mr Beale" rant has a lot of truth to it in the sense that it reveals their actual motivations.
Capital possesses men like a demon.
