Roth on Tuesday stressed the significant contributions of the city’s wealthiest residents to its tax base and said these members of the so-called one-percent are “not enemies” and are “at the top of the great American economic pyramid for a reason.”
There it is. The “we’re better than you and deserve more” conceit.
There it is. The “we’re better than you and deserve more” conceit.
That reason: they are so pathologically greedy that they grubbed up way more money than anyone could need and more than anyone else around.
If all it took to be rich was pathological greed, there would actually be even more billionaires.
It’s pathological greed and generational wealth.
Don’t forget the theft. Workers create value that capitalists steal. Profit is stolen wages.
And that grubbing explicitly is stealing from the people who actually create the money, the workers.
Interesting how they’re there for being stains on humanity, but they think they’re special.
