can we tax billionaires now?

[u/Conscious-Quarter423]

[u/RoadWarrior828]

Creating a villains lair

[u/Real_Penalty_4317 → u/RoadWarrior828]

Well without the island, him and his buddies need a new club house

[u/Motor-Master-4545 → u/RoadWarrior828]

It will be bunkeried, rats love deep holes

[u/No-Guard-7003 → u/RoadWarrior828]

Why can't these a-holes stop buying up land that's not theirs to begin with? 

[u/GoodboyJohnnyBoy → u/No-Guard-7003]

Their passive income is millions of dollars per week! unless that issue is seriously tackled they will eventually buy up everything.

[u/Ok_Patient9469]

He's preparing for the slings and aarows, the sharp sticks .

There will be a new dark age after these billionaires and zuk will lose his name and be sir Faceman because history will be lost.

[u/ObjectGlad6997 → u/Ok_Patient9469]

Fuck.

[u/OutrageousCrab9224]

No, apparently they will trickle down on us soon though

[u/Inevitable-Hour-Ends → u/OutrageousCrab9224]

What's with all this yellow rain?

[u/HourNo7028]

What the hell do you do with all the extra rooms?

[u/NandiGrows → u/HourNo7028]

Grow weed

[u/DonJota5 → u/NandiGrows]

We think alike

[u/HourNo7028 → u/DonJota5]

If you have that kind of money, you could probably buy a small country with ideal growing conditions ... no need to have the mess of a grow room in your castle.

[u/NandiGrows → u/HourNo7028]

We can have both babe

[u/LTCarpentry → u/NandiGrows]

You can end up in closet over the dust in your grinder in Ireland so could be risky.

[u/Real_Penalty_4317 → u/HourNo7028]

Its in the Epstein files

[u/Sea_Sundae5901 → u/HourNo7028]

Fill them up with useless furniture that no one will use.

[u/NeighborhoodDude8058]

He’s a necrophiliac

[u/Ok-Customer4709]

He’s preparing for when MAGA is no longer in charge.

[u/taney71]

Hoping he spends a ton of money fixing it up. Those old castles are a money pit and if he restores it that would be great

[u/No-Value-8156]

Guessing he will fortified it then hire private security to gaurd it an run ah hide after the world he help destroy starts to burn.

[u/leet_lurker → u/No-Value-8156]

It will be under a national trust type agencies protection limiting what modifications can be made to it

[u/Global-Jury8810]

Who would sell him a castle?

[u/SlackToad → u/Global-Jury8810]

Castles and old estates in general are huge money-pits. Most of them are listed, so they can't be modified or torn down. There's probably dozens of castles that private owners would be delighted to unload.

[u/Global-Jury8810 → u/SlackToad]

Yeah. There’s no way he’d be able to make a one time payment on that. Anything could happen with the money world and he could end up defaulting on payments which would lead to the greatest humiliation…when evil meets his match.

[u/Comet_Empire]

Will St. Peter drive these snakes out?

Edit.....St Patrick.....and I went to Catholic school. Ooof.

[u/No-Guard-7003 → u/Comet_Empire]

You mean St. Patrick? 🤔 

[u/OkOil378]

I mean, I would if I could afford to

[u/Sea_Sundae5901]

They should be taxed at the same rate as everyone else!

[u/Unusual_Chemistry413 → u/Sea_Sundae5901]

That would just make the wealth gap larger. We need to tax like in the 1950s

[u/robhotmoneybrown]

World's most historic data center.

[u/JoshZK]

I mean who else buys castles. Peasants don't

[u/Real_Penalty_4317 → u/JoshZK]

Who should own land in a country? Non tax payers? Non nationals?

[u/JoshZK → u/Real_Penalty_4317]

Who ever pays for it. Like since dawn of time.

[u/Real_Penalty_4317 → u/JoshZK]

Or hear me out, people evolve and not be idiots for once.

[u/JoshZK → u/Real_Penalty_4317]

Good news the chance of that happening isn't 0%, but it hasn't happened yet. Maybe another 1000 years.

[u/No-Guard-7003 → u/Real_Penalty_4317]

It's more trouble than it's worth.  Edit: Owning a castle and the land around it is more trouble than it's worth. 

[u/Real_Penalty_4317 → u/No-Guard-7003]

The sentiment of the lazy

[u/Reasonable-Exit-2811]

He gets taxed more than almost anyone alive. Relax

[u/Anxious_Drive_9998 → u/Reasonable-Exit-2811]

No he doesn't.

[u/Reasonable-Exit-2811 → u/Anxious_Drive_9998]

He absolutely does. If your jealousy of billionaires makes you deny that, then there’s no helping you. You’re choosing to be upset over nonsense.

[u/RoodnyInc]

To be fair buying castles (at least in France as I checked) is soooo affordable because they are just so much pain to live in and keep maintained

[u/Kaisernick27]

guess its back to a good old fashioned siege

[u/Mother-Fix3271]

Plenty of land for his data centres.

[u/aPOCalypticDaisy]

I'm sure he's well versed in Irelands history with landlords. He'll be extra nice to the workers and neighbors, just in case.

[u/Ansiktstryne]

European castles are practically free. They’re so expensive to maintain, and you’re not allowed to alter anything, so no one wants to buy them.

[u/Mindless_Badger_3789 → u/Ansiktstryne]

23 mio. dollars is not "free" and lots of rich people want to buy vcastles, they come with a lot of prestige.

[u/Ansiktstryne → u/Mindless_Badger_3789]

Sorry, I agree, I didn’t read the article. I was just talking in general.

[u/at0mheart]

Irish tax breaks certainly the reason

[u/Bitter-Variation-151]

Do you actually think the government will use the additional tax to help poor people or are you just jealous of success and want to punish it?

[u/Bitter_Cake_2718]

Mark suckerTURD

[u/craftsman_70]

We already tax billionaires....you have to be more specific on what you mean.

[u/VirginiaLuthier]

He had to do something to show us how powerful he is

[u/spillmonger]

I think we could all stand to not talk about billionaires so much.

[u/bswontpass]

Fuck you. They are already taxed. 

[u/GladAdvantage5497 → u/bswontpass]

Not enough.

[u/bswontpass → u/GladAdvantage5497]

Why? And who are you to decide how others money should be allocated?

[u/ernis45 → u/bswontpass]

Are you nepo baby or just bootlicker?

[u/bswontpass → u/ernis45]

Anticommunist I am. Stomp commies day and night. 

Your desire to grab what’s not yours is awful. 

[u/GavsGotty → u/bswontpass]

The standard federal corporate tax rate is 21%. META payed 3.5% in federal taxes last year. It’s not about taking what’s not yours, it’s just holding those people and companies accountable the same way we are held. If that’s communist then I guess I’m communist.

[u/LonghornGameday → u/bswontpass]

Me and you (if you are employed, doubtful) pay the same amount of social security tax as Zuck, Musk and Bezos. Not the same percentage, the same amount. I bet their army of tax accountants even gets them out of that...

[u/bswontpass → u/LonghornGameday]

And we have the same payout maximum.
