        Thats the whole point of the original comment. I can’t figure out WHAT his motivation is, when his entire career is him basically saying “DESTROY ME! I SHOULDN’T HAVE THIS MUCH MONEY! NOBODY SHOULD!”

        …but whys HE saying that. Like I could understand if he made like 30k a year, and had a few thousand in savings. But he’s the image of who’s he’s trying to turn the torches on. Is it intentional? Does he not realize?

        Meanwhile, people read the innitial comment I made, and are defending him by saying he’s not the problem.

        Which completely misses the point.

          Why’s he saying that? Because he believes in a better world rather than acting out of self interest. Plenty of high net worth and high income individuals advocate for higher taxation. I know I’d rather live in a world where the hungry are fed and the people are housed, rather than have an extra 10% of my income each year.

            He’s not advocating for just taxing the rich though. He’s advocating for eliminating the rich. Which he’s part of.

              He’s not fucking rich! A few million dollars is not rich in the USA in 2025. How can you be this ignorant?

              I’m never going to have a few million dollars, but just because I am lower class doesn’t mean it’s not possible without exploiting others!
