Migrants create jobs and rich people don’t work ?
If you think any billionaire "worked" for the amount of money they have, you're sorely mistaken. It's a byproduct of a flawed economic system, not their "work ethic." Not to say capitalism doesn't have it's benefits, but it's the system in which capitalism is allowed to operate that produces inequalities like that.
Yes. Considering the net loss in population and the its aging, an influx of new people generates new consumption and opportunities for market growth, and sustains socialized systems like pensions and health care, albeit over a long period.
On the other hand, billionaires hoard disgusting fortunes like fucking dragons to the detriment of society at large. They thus deserve to be slayed, like we would dragons.
Did you know some of the original guillotines already exist?
Ok maybe we just ask them kindly
You don't need to kill them, you just need to remove the money and BAM, no more billionaires, slayed the dragon.
So the existence of billionaires is not a problem as long as they aren't criminals?
It's pretty cool that the law is definitely not rigged in favor of the rich
