The super-wealthy are a cancer on society, and just like cancer, they suck up all of the resources while killing the patient.

Once you go beyond $100,000,000, there is no measurable difference in lifestyle. However, power accumulates. That amount of power shouldn't be in the hands of so few.

This needs to become the mainstream opinion. Billionaires and ultra wealthy shouldn't exist. There is no trickling down or any of that stolen wealth coming back into the hands of average people.

He is right.

Imagine a "billionaire" in the wild: An animal sitting on a vast horde of food that it could never eat while others starved around it ... yea, it would not last long.

Imagine a "billionaire" in a living body. A corporate money making entity would basically be a cancer that had to be removed to save the life of the patient.

Imagine life was a game. You lived for 2025 years. You worked 260 days / year. You made the median US salary.

You would need to relive that process 3,145 times to match an Oligarch.

That amount of wealth is unethical while humanity suffers. No one can really fathom “1b dollars.”

Here in the UK 78% of people support a 2% wealth tax on net assets worth more than £10 million yet our spineless neoliberal government is more focused on cutting disability benefits and bombing starving children.

The wealth of the rich is still growing and it will continue to grow automatically until the middle class ceases to exist. If we do not take the assets back, it will become impossible for normal working people to ever buy a house, or have any economic power over their own lives at all - nevermind the political control or the media manipulation.

Extreme wealth concentration is THE biggest issue facing society. Mamdani is absolutely right.

Centrists already hated him, and now he said their gods shouldn't exist.

Even the billionaires would be better off without billinaires. It their relative ranking was the same they would still have more money than they could spend but it would now come with clean air, water, land, better infrastructure, a healthier world, happier people to interact with.

Lmao that's because we shouldn't have billionaires

One cannot reign innocently: the insanity of doing so is evident. Every king is a rebel and a usurper.

-Louis Antoine de Saint-Just, 1792

Or, put in modern terms: There is no such thing as an innocent billionaire.

Hoarding = mental illness = billionaires

Before the oligarchs say this is "violence".

This can be done peacefully. Just enact a law that taxes everything above like 999 million (or a fewer amount, to be debated on), and if you don't comply, that's tax evasion and you go to jail. Complelete peaceful (other than the tax-person we'd have to send to arrest the rich for non-complance), comply and everyone is happy.

Voila, no more billionaires, and that wealth redistributed will let everyone become a millionaire. Everyone is happy, maybe the 1% cries that they now have a few less yachts and mansions, but like, they can still enjoy that one house, same as everyone else would also have.

They could just stop impeding progress and let the working class have things like healthcare and a living wage. Guess that's too much to ask and they would prefer guillotines?

He's going to be assassinated, isn't he?

This guy sounds pretty based!

We shouldn't. And he thinks that too. Cool.

I agree there is no reason why an individual should have that much economic power. There is no justification for that amount of wealth in so few hands.

Based as fuck. The fact that the establishment players disagree is extremely telling.

Ok... so... who here thinks he'll end up shot sooner or later?

god he's so hot

Alright, now I HAVE to donate to his campaign.

He's right. Let's see if people could live off 999 million in assets.

It's not that we shouldn't have billionaires. Its that we have billionaires when we have people living on the streets because the rent is so ridiculous. Its that we have people dying on the streets because they cannot afford health insurance. The gravy on the shit-fest is that billionaires are actively bribing the politicians to prevent those policies from being implemented. That is the textbook recipe for guillotines.
