Imagine how many cigarettes you could buy with a million dollars.

The Gilded Age refers to a time in America in which the Industrial Age was exploding, yet wealth inequality was also exploding.

This inevitably led to a tremendous backlash against the powerful and wealthy and gave rise to the Progressive Era.

That day is coming again. Soon.

It didn't get better.

Imagine how many cigarettes you could buy with a million dollars.

Imagine Musk hanging from a tree.

So you blame your failures and shortcomings on others. Got it.


Fuck off.

Listen asswipe, I learned things through experience. For example, you know what working too hard for what you get paid is? For employers, there is no such thing. But now that you have made yourself clear, it is time to ignore you.

It’s not the entire class of wealthy people that are the problem. It’s the fucking billionaires. It’s always been the billionaires going back to the Rockefellers, Morgans, and Rothschilds.

When your government is for sale, the highest bidder wins. Billionaires being billionaires always win.

I disagree. Even if you are only a little wealthy, there is one thing that all of those sorts want. Which is more wealth. There is never enough.

 

[hjmick]

I already know that. That is why you treat the poor so badly.

You know nothing about me.

 

[Etymology gaslight]

Spare us.

You say all that but wouldn't mind being wealthy yourself.

Resentment and hatred of achievement is insanity
Governing your life based on unrequited feelings the same.

You have it wrong. My resentment and hatred is aimed at greed. "Achievement" through greed isn't achievement. It is EVIL. That is because that achievement invariably comes at the cost of the poor. And right now it has the world in the midst of a mass extinction event. Maybe that is why these religious leaders said what they had to say.

You come in here spewing hate and expect to be welcomed with open arms?

Listen up, loser...

I have worked every day since I was 15 years old to get where I am. Every. Single. Day. I skip family vacations, to work. I have worked holidays. I went to work the day after my father died. I've learned as much through experience has I have in the classroom, probably more. I was not born into wealth, I worked for it. Hard. Seizing opportunities, sharing ideas, making myself invaluable. For each employer, I gave my best. In turn, each employer has rewarded me quite well for my efforts.

Don't take your resentment out on me or anyone else. You are where you are because of you. No one else. Just you.

Billionaires should be taxed until they are millionaires.

You know how you can become a millionaire with a fishing boat?



Start out as a billionaire.

I do not begrudge a wealthy person at all so long as they acquired their wealth honorably and through hard work. Build a better mousetrap, etc.

I do begrudge those who bribe our politicians to legislatively tilt the playing field to their advantage at the expense of everyone else.

This is going on every day.

Our politicians accept these bribes because it fattens their campaign war chests, making it damn near impossible for a challenger to unseat them.

The problem is that "hard work" mostly comes at the expense of those they employ. Thake for example a contractor who is building a house. He will work very hard to build that house. He no doubt expects all of his employees to work as hard as he does. But after all is said and done, he by far earns the most money.

That day is coming again. Soon.

Hopefully, if elections are still legitimate by then, that day will come in the 2026 mid term elections. When all of Trump's republican cronies will be voted out of office.

Agreed. But when it comes to human caused global warming, that MUST be taken into consideration.

Most of the MAGA imbeciles who defend the obscene greed of these billionaires and the ultra wealthy have never had real jobs....or any type of real life at all, for that matter.

They are so utterly pathetic. Fucking worthless little sucker peasants, all of them.

 

[Godboy]

Are you fucking kidding?! The rich became rich by exploiting the poor.

You are aware that i can come up with countless examples of this not being true, right?

The wealthy are just playing the hand that is being provided to them.

As long as we choose to not change the rules of the game they play, there's no reason for them to change.

That's on us, and the people we choose to elect.

I disagree. The wealthy stack the deck in their favor. Next, we can choose to act in the 2026 mid term elections. But there is serious doubt as to if elections will still be legitimate by then. Trump is doing everything in his power to see to it that they won't be.

 

[Jim H - VA USA]

Nope. But our wages were suppressed without a doubt. If I could id take back every last effort I gave to help the company. Let em go under. But bye. Cheapskates.

Some people are underpaid, but the usual recourse is to seek employment elsewhere.

 

[Crepitus]

They are just the wealthiest and make the rules

They are that.

Unfortunately, the Democratic Party has also been complicit in allowing the wealthy to stack the deck in their favor.
