I do not get it…are rich people struggling?
I do not get it…are rich people struggling?
Everything is never enough for greed. Their only pains are self delusional at best and intentionally grotesque but neither matter in the grand scheme of 99% of the world is utter shit. General Strike now or never people. You can't stop the machine coming to kill you if you keep putting gas in it.
I think of it like this: anytime someone asks the rich to give some of their wealth, they push back. If the rich win, they push back the next time they are asked. Again, and again, and again. If we asked the rich to pay 10 cents more in taxes, they would spend millions to prevent it.
It's not about the money. It's about the power, the message.
They have everything, so nothing brings them joy. They have to hurt people for that dopamine hit.
The nosedive from 3 billion to 2.75 billion is trauma inducing. Please, have compassion.
If they only have their regular house and one summer home, yes they are struggling.
Like how the rich had to get off the Titanic because who cares if the working class survives…. It’s not like they bring anything to the table right? Just backbreaking labor and taxes. That’s not essential…..😑
Please, won't someone think of the rich people?
No. They think other people aren’t suffering ENOUGH.
They’re all at a wedding in Venice so i don’t think so.
They think they are, because they have no idea what "struggling" means.
No and that’s the problem! It’s greed!
🤣🤣🤣🤣… not they just want to stay greedy
don't know about the rich, but I thought it seemed purposely fucked for no reason around here. Now, it's "it's not nice to screw with Mother Nature!" payback time outside too
There are literal palaces for sale in Italy these people can buy. Why tf are they all so angry? Live like a Medici, drink wine & eat pasta all day, and leave everyone else alone.
Actually, yes. They have "valuation" but very little cash. They live almost completely on finance. That's why they're so greedy - to keep being able to make the payments on all the loans to maintain their lifestyle.
no..just greedy.
They only know how to solve problems with money, so the fact that no amount of money can fill the pus-seeping void they have in place of a heart confuses and frightens them.

Saw a TED Talk on YouTube once that thru dozens of studies they discovered that as wealth increased, feelings of compassion and empathy for others decreased. Entitlement of wealth also increased. Rich people do look down on anyone not as rich as them.
They pretend they are
they feel poor because they're not billionaires
Yes. Not with money. One big problem is that these rich people worship money, and their life's work is only to get more rich, and that isn't actually personally fulfilling. Simply possessing a lot of money does not make you happy. They can not reconcile this with their worship of money.
Yea. There are WAY more poor people they have to deal with than 40 years ago.
You know what the most fucked thing is? He could have spent the money he used to buy Twitter to end homelessness in the USA forever and he would have the popularity he's so clearly desperate for. He'd probably have a holiday on his birthday and a fucking parade. What a dumb dipshit.
No, but they should be. Let’s get on it already.
Only with their humanity
No, just pathologically greedy.
Yes, because most of the rich stumbled blindly into wealth, stole it, or inherited it. They're terrified of the money going away and know that having it is the only thing that makes people tolerate them. Would anyone willingly spend 5 minutes with Elon if he wasn't rich? No.
There are a number of wealthy people who do say, "Yes, I should be taxed more." There are also some who give large swathes of their wealth away via charity. But the lazy, lucky thieves? They tell on themselves by shrieking after every scrap of loose change.
I wish.
They want us to believe they are.
They're struggling with the fact that we don't all live in their factory cities without rights yet.
No but they’re really good at using the media they own to convince poor stupid people that higher taxes on them will hurt the poor. Have never been able to understand how anyone could believe that taxing the wealthy would have negative impact on the other 90+% of the country.
Financially? No Mentally? Maybe Morally? Yeah
What fun is being rich if everyone else doesn’t suffer? That’s a struggle.
If the rich are struggling, then actively torpedoing the economy on which their wealth is based probably isn't the solution they think it is. Who's gonna buy all their fancy cars, electronics, stocks and crypto when they destroy the economic base and tax the middle class officially into poverty?
They're struggling to comprehend why we're all not basking in their glow.
Yes Statistics say that less than half of rich people can afford to drive around eating mustard Now they have to borrow it from the car next to them:
Yes. Because there is always somebody even richer.
No. But all they have left in their charmed lives of comfort and no real problems is that their line has to go up. That's the only thing they have. Zohrans win in NYC has the 1% terrified, because he's raising their taxes by 4%. That's it. Too much money isn't good for you.
No, but they think it would be lots easier if LOTS of poor people died. MAHA.
ever hear of the georgia runestones?
No, I don't think so.
With the weight of their stock portfolios...
You tell us. 😂
No, but poor people still exist. They want to eliminate “the poors” as well. Paradise doesn’t have parasites. If you’re not rich, then you are a parasite to them. Yeah. They are THAT sick in the head. I’ve seen it first hand.
Ikr? My mother said, "Oh, you're dad and I are so excited about what Elon is doing with DOGE." I thought, "How is your life going to be personally improved by eliminating USAID?" I mean, my parents do very well for themselves. Kudos to their success, but what exactly are they expecting to gain?
Greedy. Rich people are greedy.
No. They just want us dead so they’ll have a bigger playground with less people to contend with
They figure they should own ALL the money by now instead of ALMOST ALL the money. That, and they are still 'forced" to pay taxes.
They don’t believe in “rising tide lifts all boats”. They want the rest of us to just drown already.
Well yes, most cant buy spontaneously a jumbo jet.....thats make them very sad
They are now... Mamdani wants to tax them, oh the injustice.
