    For the amount of references to people defending CEOS and billionaires, I never actually see any unless I walk by a TV blaring Fox News.

      Come to Germany. We had a wealth tax until 1996 and whenever it’s revival is publicly discussed you can see that the majority is against it even when the majority of our people would never have to pay it and would profit from it. It’s mind boggling that the people are still willing to defend our current “don’t tax the rich” policy…

      That’s silly, a shocking amount of media sources are in cover their ass mode not just fox. LinkedIn has posts. Twitter has posts. Even SNL, shockingly, is a little bit “can we not be cheering a killer on air?”

      So…I call bs, this is everywhere.

          the CEO who killed millions via denying healthcare was the true working class hero

            A CEO was “murdering” with debts before and after, call me when something actually changes.

              Nobody will actually change anything for you, unless you work on it. All of you, all of us collectively. I’m calling you now, do something.

      Nobody I work with is on the same page as me about this subject, but they also don’t know enough about it to feel comfortable disagreeing with me. I think a lot of people relate more to a CEO than Luigi for the simple fact that they think or feel that it’s more likely for them to be in the CEOs position than a shooter. As delusional as that is, it’s a factor that has always put the working class against themselves.
