The phrase “tax the rich” can be “just as hateful as some disgusting racial slurs”, according to the New York City billionaire Steve Roth, who said that the top 1% should be “praised and thanked”.
Speaking on his company’s quarterly earnings call on Tuesday, Roth, the CEO of Vornado Realty Trust, expressed his support for fellow billionaire and the CEO of Citadel, Ken Griffin, who was singled out in the 15 April announcement by New York’s mayor, Zohran Mamdani, of the state’s first “pied-à-terre” tax on second homes valued at more than $5m. In a video, Mamdani announced the policy in front of Griffin’s penthouse, which he said was purchased for $238m.
ROFLMAO Actually laughed out loud at this. 😂
Like, we all assumed they were comically evil villains and we joke that they might talk and think like this.
But the confirmation of it is somehow hilarious to me. Their complete lack of understanding of the world, the zero self awareness, the cheap attempt for sympathy while lounging on the weary bones of the entire working class.
If EVER we needed that smoking gun to show that class has nothing to do with intelligence or hard work, this definitely goes on the wall.
LOL, sir. 🖕 Taxes are the most humane thing coming to you and your ilk, you filthy curr. I thumb my nose at you, indeed! Go forth and repent to all those you hath wronged, or freely go fucketh thyself to expiry, thank you VERY MUCH.
