    Become the richest tycoon in the US and you might launch your own space programme. In India, you might throw gazillion-dollar weddings for your children. In China, you might look for a way to lose your new title — and the target on your back.

            How does a rag even have the gall to think people that spoiled deserve a reader’s sympathy?

              Frowning at the headlines and muttering about how unfair it is to tax the rich as I stuff newspapers into the crack around my front door as the weather shifts toward winter.

      Wow that super sucks for the one person out of billions that rose to the top. After all, their success surely didn't come at the expense of all their workers.

      You're right, person writing article. I should have to watch my parents accrue ten times their total net worth in debt and die in a shitty, rundown, understaffed facility surrounded by pest traps, so that the most obnoxiously evil fuckers on the planet can afford to throw bitchin' parties for their spoiled-ass offspring.

      "let them eat cake"-ass bourgeois media

      It's like that CEO who was, in a televized event saying that workers are too "arrogant" and "We need to see pain in the economy, and raise unemployment to 50% so the workers remember who they work for"

      The rich are so detached they'll actually somehow manage to feel shocked and indignant at the "ingratitude" when they are being dragged to the wall street lamp post gallows by the organized working class.

      It is also selling the rope that will be tied around said lamp posts because they have managed to become too detached to realize saying this shit out loud makes the workers sharpen their knives and this news about how China "oppressing" it's billionaires makes US workers MORE sympathetic to socialism and China, not less.
