The phrase “tax the rich” can be “just as hateful as some disgusting racial slurs”, according to the New York City billionaire Steve Roth, who said that the top 1% should be “praised and thanked”.
Speaking on his company’s quarterly earnings call on Tuesday, Roth, the CEO of Vornado Realty Trust, expressed his support for fellow billionaire and the CEO of Citadel, Ken Griffin, who was singled out in the 15 April announcement by New York’s mayor, Zohran Mamdani, of the state’s first “pied-à-terre” tax on second homes valued at more than $5m. In a video, Mamdani announced the policy in front of Griffin’s penthouse, which he said was purchased for $238m.
Are the rich really a race? I don’t think so
tax the rich
Wonder how he’s gonna feel about “Eat the rich”. I’m hungry.
We need the French to show us how to properly riot.
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.
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).
Are those unicorns in the room with us?
Fuck that guy, but only in every way he doesn’t consent to.
I’m perfectly fine with vivisecting them, if he prefers that
IDK man, slurs seem preferable to slugs.
If that’s true then I’m a massive racist.
The sooner they learn that “tax the rich” is the compromise moderate position, the better
There are other ways to make them learn than words.
Unfortunately by the time the lesson has sunk into their stupid heads, those heads are on the floor.
They won’t learn shut until we revolt.
Unfortunately that’s true. I’m armed to the teeth just waiting for the pendulum to swing that way.
They need more Luigi to compare and contrast
He’s gonna be dismayed to learn what people will be calling for if they continue to squeeze the working class.
Tax the rich :3
He’s really not gonna like the next phase, then.
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.
