Not the first nor the last time Burr has made similar comments on the billionaires place in American politics. He is right though.
Bros humor is salty as hell but i like it. Kinda a hookers and cocaine kind of leftist.
Salty with a hint of Carlin.
He got very tired of peoples BS towards the end of his career, I hope Burr can keep up the energy, we sorta need it right now.
Highly based
When life gives you billionaires, make billionnaise.
Billionaire dont deserve our respect nor loyalty. They can go fuck themselves for all I care. Dogs however are loyal and love us unconditionally.😂
Yep, let people make all the money they want, but once you hit 10 billion, you get luigi'd.
Me: EAT THE RICH! Bill Burr: I got you fam...
Dumb shit clueless billionaires: "I've rented a house for a vacation once, they want $21,000 a week!?"
Disagree. Rabid dogs who must be euthanized deserve care, compassion, and respect when doing so. Rabies isn't a life choice a dog makes.
Billionaires deserve no such care, compassion, or respect.
also did Bill Burr ever apologize for all the transphobic shit he's said recently? Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with anyone of any walk of life gaining class consciousness, especially if they talk about it. But it'd be even better if he's stopped being transphobic on top of that.
Billionaires should not exist. You don't get to be a billionaire without exploiting people - for that matter once you get over about 10M you're probably stepping on people, or exploiting systems, in order to continue growing your wealth. And why, exactly? It's a sickness that gets worse the richer someone gets. It's been studied and confirmed that people who have excessive wealth convince themselves that they deserve it, they earned it individually, and that they are special and more valuable than others. So instead of riding off into the sunset, they feed their addiction by buying outsized and unearned power in order to shape the laws so that they can make more money. Just fuck off already - you won at capitalism, now get the fuck out of the way and stop screwing over everyone else and making our lives miserable.
Beyond 100M we should just take it all for the state. 100% tax rate. If you want to keep earning beyond that, then great, you will have the glory of contributing to the public good.
But since billionaires have convinced idiots to advocate against the idiots' own interest, and argue that the billionaires can't be constrained in any way, then this will never happen in the current social context. So next best thing is to do as Bill says. Put the fear of God into them.
Super Luigi time!
To me it’s not about being “rich” or a billionaire, it’s about staying “Rich” by exploiting others OR the law. Trump is a prime example of human trash that has millions(Or billions if you believe him) but he’s just about the poorest person I have ever heard of him you measure his integrity.
