Topic	The absurdity of billionaires and the burden they put on us
CyricZ 03/26/20 9:55:55 AM #28:	Wolf_J_Flywheel posted... Attacking and shaming the ultra successful will eventually lead to attacking you and me. And thats a very dangerous road to travel. Because there are way more of those and they create jobs. Fuck rich shaming. Fixed for you and anyone else who would make this argument. The "slippery slope" argument is fearmongering to imply that eventually middle-class Americans who get by comfortably will become eventual targets. This is myopic, and doesn't take into account the MASSIVE gap in wealth between themselves and the ultra rich, and the fact that even if the ultra rich are brought down to size, they will STILL BE RICH and likely still remain the focus of wealth inequality. --- CyricZ <cite>CyricZ posted [p:936252484] in The absurd...
