Hey y’know what other famously French thing will be deadly for rich people if they’re not taxed?
Wealth tax or Guillotine?
Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.
I like that term. Gonna call it financial obesity from now on.
Fuck off rich asshole. Tired of them acting like they know better.
Tax wealth not work.
Your honor I object!!
Why?
Because its devastating to my case!!!
Western society: “Overruled”
Isn’t he the asshole who said he would help pay for that famous church that burned down a while ago and never gave them a red cent?
wealth taxes and handouts to the people would stimulate consumerism and make the economy run hot.
We should push the trickle up method.
You give all the cash to the poor and middle class, they guy all the goods from the wealthy and they get their money back. Easy Peasy
Maybe the evaporation method
trickle up method
yep, 100%, i gotta remember that phrase.
Yes, but have you given a thought to those poor billionaires?
you guys already don’t have musk, trump, bezos, ellison, zuckerberg, trump! All of them choose not to live there due to your repressive laws! Do you want to lose arnault as well! If he leaves he may never become prime minister or president. Do you really want that?
Did anyone actually ask him?
If the ultra rich say your idea will ruin the economy - congratulations, you’ve got a great idea.
yes! tax the poor! /s
not the onion
Is he showing any of his work, or is he just making stuff up? Seems like he’s just making stuff up.
Also, everyone should look at the “wealth to scale” webpage: https://dbkrupp.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/ . Humans are not good at scale, and this helps visualize it.
He isn’t the economy. The workers are.
Yep. Bad for the economy, good for the people.
Yacht sales will plummet by 5% though!
I think you are confused, why would it be bad for the economy?
“The economy” = rich people’s yachts.
But he’s a Job Creator or some shit
Cuase their job creators we have to treat them special. Job creators can’t go to jail or anything.
You know who else are job creators?
All of the people doing the actual work.
Vietnam would like a word.
Edit: I’m not pro death penalty (latest update has Vietnam actually removing it for this crime due to this case) but just showing the absolute night and day difference between how they treat capitalist that cause death and poverty through their greed.
When they inevitably try to pretend they are pulling business from new York when Mamdani becomes mayor. Please, everyone, use this as an opportunity to show how evil the structures of capitalism are.
It will be a perfect time to explain class conflict to your liberal friends. The interest of the people of New York will be held hostage by capital. And overwhelmingly popular policy will be talk about as “unrealistic” and “poor economics”.
Yes, that is why capitalist must lose their power. They are holding the popular policies of the people hostage. That power should not exist in their hands but the hands of the people.
Capitalism is incompatible with democracy. The economy and politics are not separate. We cannot have a dictatorship controlling our companies and economy and call it a “democratic process”.
Fellow socialist 🙌
Okay, but what if the financial sector launches a capital strike?
Cuba is a great example of the results. Powerful worker state, but it is bottled up and suffocated by the US led embargo.
France is not comparable to Cuba in this scenario
I mean you said it yourself, it’s an embargo. Good luck doing that to France.
Then the world must go on labor strike. Capital requires our consent. Withdraw consent, seize the means of production and begin the class war. We are outgunned, but they are outnumbered, and we can easily get more guns once they can’t get any more numbers.
Viva Revolución, Viva Cuba Libre!
Bernard Arnault is worth 157.3 billion USD. $1 billion dollars is 0.6% of their wealth. That’s fucking couch change. These fucking ghouls are so worried about their precious wealth they are willing to doom all of us.
Plus, he looks like the end of a Q-tip.
Did they base Mr Mackey off a billionaire? “Gotta make my nut.”
