Freedom’s Just Another Word for Not Paying Taxes
Freedom’s Just Another Word for Not Paying Taxes
Why America’s oligarchs are rallying around Trump.
Why would billionaires support Trump? It’s not as if they’ve done badly under President Biden. Stock prices — which Trump predicted would crash if he lost in 2020 — have soared. High interest rates, which are a burden on many Americans, are if anything a net positive for wealthy people with money to invest. And I doubt that the superrich are suffering much from higher prices for fast food.
Wealthy Americans, though, are surely betting they’ll pay lower taxes if Trump wins.
You can find their representatives saying exactly that:
Kathy Wylde, president and CEO of the Partnership for New York City — a nonprofit organization representing the city’s top business leaders — said Republicans have conveyed to her that they consider that “the threat to capitalism from the Democrats is more concerning than the threat to democracy from Trump.”
Which is why billionaires are bribing Trump
You're viewing a single thread.
It's not about the money, it's about the power it gives them over everyone else. There is no appreciable difference between the life of someone with a billion dollars and someone with ten billion. However, making entire nations bend to their will and give them even more money is a pleasure of it's own. It makes their tiny little peckers stand up just a little bit straighter.
Its all literally a game to them. Multiple players competing on the leaderboards. Which is a disturbing concept.
This is why we need to just give these fuckers a trophy, tell them they won capitalism at a certain amount and now all the money they make goes to fund public programs. Once they hit a certain amount of funding public programs they win capitalism+ and get a banner hung in Congress.
Power is surely a factor, but I think money is still a major driving force. When a person gets to a certain level of wealth, they seem to develop a mental illness. It's like an addiction that compels them to constantly try to get more. There is no level of wealth that is enough to satisfy them.

I think the mental illness is developed well before amassing such wealth. It's one of the reasons they are able to gain it in the first place. Wealth is the end result, not the cause.
