Just got into it with some idiot about taxing billionaires, and their argument basically boiled down to “governments are corrupt, so the tax revenue won’t be used properly.”

@pmonks hmm why are governments corrupt? Who has lots of money to corrupt them?

Bitch please. My main interest is in making sure billionaires can’t exist. We could literally set the money we collect on fire and it would still achieve that goal. Using some of it for good things is just icing on the mf’ing cake!!

@pmonks hmmm, setting all money they make above some level on fire sounds lovely. like the batman quote about sending a message
i would love that. please, more of that

@pmonks It's not about making money. It's about taking money. Destroying the status quo because the status is not quo.

@djno Unlikely. Their mansions are a minuscule fraction of their accumulated wealth.

@pmonks well yeah, people who are elected obviously can't be trusted with large piles of money, but unelected billionaires obviously can - we've never seen anything bad from them in the past or present, nor can we imagine anything bad from them in the future.
