Millionaires (can be) good. Billionaires (are always) bad.
Riiiiiiight.
You one of those "if you have more money than me, you have too much money" folks?
Actually the opposite. I love coming here and watching the anti-capitalist screech about "rich man bad poor man good". I have no feelings against billionaires one way or the other.
I was simply pointing out the hypocrisy of calling billionaires bad guys, but giving millionaires a pass.
It's not hypocrisy. A billionaire is orders of magnitudes richer than a millionaire. A millionaire doesn't have nearly the same capacity to do overwhelming good as a billionaire does.
A millionaire who chooses not to use their money to help isn't good but a billionaire who chooses not to use their money to help is decidedly evil.
Much like how you not giving half your sandwich to a homeless guy isn't good but a restaurant that throws out perfectly good food at the end of the night directly next to a homeless shelter is decidedly evil.
I love how you decide what good and bad means. If I am in possession of, say, $500 million, I'm not a bad person if I don't use it to help others. It is not an individuals responsibility to give away their money to "make society better". That's your government leaders job. Nor am I a bad person for eating my 12" hoagie while I walk past a homeless guy. It's my sandwich. I paid for it.
Yep, I do decide what good and bad means. The fucking concept of taxes disagrees with everything you said so kindly fuck off back to your hole, corpo rat.
Hahaha. Yeeeeeah. Stay mad, brother! Fight the machine! Don't worry. One day glorious communism will take it's rightful place at the top!
