How many non-billionaire’s lives are equal to one billionaire’s life?
If you had less than 24 I have bad news for you.
Multi millionaire right? I think he was the top 1 percent of 1 percent, but I don’t think he broke 1 billion.
3/5
Although it’s more like 3/5000
Depends on the net worth of the non-billionaires. You get even more if you go after those with negative values/s
None of the 23 was a millionaire.

Real estate is ALWAYS part of wealth. Most people want to tax wealth starting at 500k, so your parents will pay it 100%. But here’s a trick, wealth estimations will be done by the government on an annual basis and will change based on who’s in charge. One year you might have 1m wealth and next year you might have 2m out of thin air. Because wealth is not money, it’s an imaginary number.
P.S. And it’s more like your parents don’t speak to you, because you are a 13yo kid in an adult body.
What the fuck was that last sentence? Why the fuck would you assume about someone you never met, that their parents cut them off?
Thats some mean-spirited, personal shit you got going on. Like a bitch.

Plot twist, it’s the parents.
I got to the end of my dumbass comment and was reminded that this was why no one talks to me, so I felt the compulsion to lash out in anger at the smallest possible display of empathy

Yes, however no one is specifically calling on land owners to be taxed.
Most people want to tax wealth starting at 500k, so your parents will pay it 100%.
Also wrong, the common consensus in the U.S. is that you should be taxed if you make over 400k a year. Make over 400k, anyone paying attention recognizes how this is just going to be circumvented by the current tax loopholes already in place.

Please name a single time that the U.S. treasury has gone ‘actually the dollar is worth double what it’s worth’ . Please, I would like you to point to that happening. And if you’re referring to markets fluctuating as a result of a new presidency, holy shit I’m not explaining how that has nothing to do with the government ‘deciding’ the value of a currency.
P.S. : you come off like an asshole, an asshole that barely knows what they’re talking about.
Nobody asked me but I am specifically calling for a Land Value Tax. Land values are already part of state-level property tax assessments, which are relatively stable and don’t double over a year.
We already tax wealth a little bit and it works great. We should do it more!
I think that, without many things changing first, that would be a great way to cause a lot of people to lose their homes.
Plenty of house poor folks who are just trying to keep their home/land. They would need to be considered too.
Land Value Tax, not a parcel tax. Most of the revenue would come from cities.

Bro, go get a hug.
Ever heard of “market value”?

Very few are discussing a wealth tax, and when they do, it’s usually on net worth over 10mil.
The 500k is annual income, which you don’t magically generate from owning a few houses. And yeah, people making that much annually should be paying a higher percentage tax compared to a public school teacher or barber, etc, but due to corruption and lack of regulation they don’t always do so.
Who are these invisible people?
It’s been pretty clear for sometime that in the US laws don’t apply equally to everyone.
There were two immigrant teenagers murdered in NYC the same day as Thompson. Nobody cared in the slightest.
Obviously not. As we’ve already ascertained from OP, one murder of a rich is worth more than 23 murders of non-white commoners. A mere 2 non-citizen commoners isn’t going to make them blink an eye.
And just think of the media circus if the world didn’t like and support Luigi the more they hear about him, they tried a blitz at first and it just helped Luigis popularity… so this is the silent mode.
Serial killers like Ted Bundy, state charges. Even though he crossed several states. Yet this has federal charges for some reason.
“For some reason”. I’d go with “For removing a useful tool of the Oligarchs”
They should. But when the Supreme Court is corrupt, this is what happens.
It’s all courts, let’s not pretend it was different for most people 10 years ago.
But the Supreme Courts dictate lower courts
Yes I know, but (1) most lower court actions and decisions are never reviewed by SCOTUS and (2) it’s not like the lower courts were doing great and every once in a while SCOTUS overturned them. This has long, long been a been a very consistent and pervasive problem in the federal courts. It’s not as simple as “SCOTUS pulls the strings of the lower courts,” quite far from it.
I didn’t say they pull the strings. I said they dictate it. They set precedence. Which is huge in the interpretation of law.
Yes I know, I’m a lawyer lol. I’m just saying that, in effect, lower courts split frequently, and even when they ostensibly don’t split they interpret SCOTUS decisions in sometimes very different ways.
Circa 1776, more specifically.

My wife had this 3D DS ever since we met. This is how I feel and we need more Luigis. We need to free him. Fuck that DOJ.
Year of Luigi indeed
His legal fund on give send go broke 800k today
give, send, go broke
UH CEO was provably guilty of deep evil and harm against millions of Americans. El Paso Walmart shoppers not at all. Even the premise that they as a race are somehow bad for America is highly suspect. Among the murdered, only 8 were Mexican. 13 Americans and a German. The political terrorism charge that applies to UH CEO, applies way more to this murder. 50/50 there’s a pardon, and new GOP speaking tour.
Ugh, for somebody from Europe to visit the states and then get gunned down in a mass shooting at a Walmart, could there be a more stereotypical “experience America” than that?
Having to deal with the hospital bills afterwards if they survive?
Damn it, you are totally right.

I’m certainly not the 1st, or thousandth person to say it…we have a legal system, not a justice system. Luigi showed us all a flash of a justice system.

“Montoya (DA) said he supports the death penalty and believes Crusius deserves it. But he said he met with the families of the victims and while some were willing to wait as long as it took for a death sentence, there was an overriding desire to conclude the process.”
NPR news
This is the problem
You can throw a man that pleads guilty in jail for 90 consecutive life sentences and be “over”
Now, to see if he really did it and deserves the death penalty…yeah going to have to take a lot longer to just make sure…
deleted by creator
It’s alright to put a person in jail for 90 consecutive life terms and never look back. Feel good about ourselves because if we got it wrong, we “could” look into it.
Death penalty should be used sparingly
Wife poisons her husband? No because there’s never going to be 100% proof
Kid shoots up a school? Yes because you know it was them 100%
deleted by creator
Yeah, I’m not trying to argue either
The perfect world wouldn’t need a death penalty, yet we don’t live in a perfect world.
To me, spending ~50k a year to keep a person behind bars is not worth it.
An 18 year old school shooter has ~60 years behind bars.
That’s 3 million dollars
Do you know how many lives you can save or improve for 3 million dollars?
Thats if the cost of incarnation doesn’t increase in 60 years…
Thats not counting all the interest you could earn from investing the money for 60 years…
It’s millions of dollars
That school shooter is 100% guilty and will never, hopefully, get out of prison.
It’s inhumane to just keep them locked in a box for 60 years
But if you want to pay millions to a private prison because “The school shooter might be innocent”. Even with videos, eye witnesses, and cops arresting them with a gun.
Then okay. Doesn’t make sense to me.

Something tells me that Trump will soon be pardoning everyone accused of a hate crime. But only the white on nonwhite kind. He might even go so far as to demand the release of Alexandre Bissonnette from Canada and grant him American citizenship. Bissonnette was the Quebec City Mosque shooter in 2017 who shot 7 Muslims dead in Quebec. He is a Canadian born Canadian citizen. He was inspired to do primarily by Ben Shapiro.
They gotta get rid of him, he’s a symbol to people.
I think all individual murders should be prosecuted equally.
They really needed him to confess to killing 23 people in public under CCTV cameras, it would have been dozens of people’s words against his and the only hard evidence HD video of it happening! How else could they have won the case?
It’s chudjak!!! They want to kill chud!!
