I think it isn’t going to be that effective a phrase. People don’t understand why having lots of money (hoarding wealth) is a bad thing, necessarily, and it sort of implies that, if they were to just spend it it’d make the initial hoarding fine.

Gotta also focus on the fact that they essentially stole that money from workers through labor exploitation. The bare fact that they got the money to begin with is the problem, not just them holding onto it. If they were to spend it all on horrible capitalist enterprises rather than hoarding it, that’d be even worse. Even if they spent it all on “philanthropic” efforts, that’s still worse than the workers having their fair share and the government being able to actually have that money to spend on social programs through taxes.

The problem with this is that if billionaires just sat on their fortunes like a dragon sitting on treasure it would be much better than the way it is now, where they pump their billions into “nonprofits” that try to manipulate society to make it even better for them and worse for normal people.

Sometimes I use the term “psychopathic hoarder class” when referring to this group of people.

I’m old school, I stick to calling them boss, capitalist, and bourgeoisie

Corporation controller also seems apt, since that’s what their wealth usually is.

Arguably true. Please post actual memes next time, OP.

I was thinking nigglers.

Cause they’re niggling us all

More from oil! More from groceries! More work for less pay!

Endlessly niggling every aspect of our lives

herrcaptain ,

I see where you’re coming from but that feels dangerously close to a certain other word I’d rather not use. I’m also not sure of the etemology of that word, but I wouldn’t be shocked to find out it has something in common with the other one.

Someone I strive to be, more money for the money pit, more food for the fridge, more education for my kids, more opportunities for the family, more money for charity

Wealth crimes

You guys should put in this much effort and hate to the government. Billionaires play very little role in my life, but the government is in every aspect, but for some reason we are focusing on them.

BobGnarley ,

For real lol just a nice diversion to distract everyone from the real problem.

Leviathan ,

The government is directly controlled by their individual billionaires.

CableMonster ,

I somewhat agree, but the influence on the government spans much more than billionaires. The powerful do control much of the government, but its also a bunch of assholes that abuse their power.

They are paid to abuse that power, by the billionaires. The billionaires also pay them to keep folks fighting over any topic that keeps the people away from realizing what they are up to. Usually most of the more ridiculous claims from folks at outlets like Fox come right before billionaires cram themselves a tax break into an omnibus bill or repeal some fundamental human right or cut critical parts of your social services and supports.

CableMonster ,

I agree but its more than just the billionaires. For instance where I live there are no billionaires and the government is still the biggest thorn in my side.

Leviathan ,

Where do you live?

CableMonster ,

Idaho. How about you?
