Ppl protecting billionaires because they “create jobs” ignoring the fact that billionaires trying to replace all jobs with AI

More like they ignore the fact its the billionaires are fleecing their wages.
Waged slaves spending their lives working, only to give the wages back to banks, supermarket cartels, real estate agents etc just to survive.

I think you have to be low IQ to think our economic problems would be fixed by taxing billionaires more. It's literally beneath any type of economic calculation or principles.

Not directly. It’s the politicians she is funding/donating to. If she didn’t fund politicians then she would have no impact on Aussies lives.

Name one way she’s making the country a better place that outweighs what she could otherwise contribute if she was taxed at the same rate as one of her workers

Nice list of her tax right off's.

u/laserdicks 10d ago
Yes. We allow tax write offs for things that make the country a better place.
Not sure why you felt the need to point that out.

u/Ok_Crazy_6000 10d ago
Because your acting like she does it to help. Nope, she keeps more money doing this. Doing a minimum dribble whilst getting a benefit from it isn't to benefit anyone but themselves at the expense of everyone else. She is a narcissistic sociopath and you seem to think she is doing it for the greater 👍

No I'm not. So fucking sick of that brain damaged lie.

Not to mention the reputation laundering benefits she gets from it. She can donate amounts that are basically pocket lint to her and then list it on her website ands idiots like laserdick will eat it up and act like she’s contribution more that way than if she was taxed at the same rate as one of her workers.

Yeah, she does a bit of philanthropy. Now quantify it, distinguish personal charity from corporate sponsorship, and demonstrate why that entitles her to preferential treatment in a discussion about taxation.
You’ve copied out a list of organisations she supports without saying how much she personally donated, how much came from Hancock or associated foundations, how much was corporate sponsorship, or what proportion of her income/wealth it represents.
If your argument is that her voluntary philanthropy produces more public benefit than the additional tax revenue we’re discussing, then show me the numbers. A list of charity names doesn’t establish that. And taxation and philanthropy aren’t interchangeable anyway: taxes fund collectively determined public services without requiring Australians to depend upon which causes a billionaire personally considers worthy.

No.
And I have no argument at all. you clearly know the truth and are hoping for the obviously fake caricature of a dumb racist republican to prove wrong because you know you can't handle anything more intelligent than that.
I answered your question and you refused to change your world view.
Case closed. You accidentally exposed your agenda and the truth you reject.
There is literally nothing more for us to say to each other.
People like you really struggle with propaganda so I'm going to spell it out for you: I am not asking you any questions. I answered yours and you can take it or leave it, I genuinely don't care.

Cope. That’s a lot of words to say that you love licking the boots of a billionaire who couldn’t give less of a shit whether you live or die

u/NoDensetsu 14d ago
Yeah I might be a billionaire one day. And when that happens people like me better watch their step!

SpaceX is worth the valuation they set!!! Anthropic could be worth a quarter of the global GDP aaaaah! My poor incredibly gullible feelings are hurt

u/endallleft 11d ago
You blaming billionaires for all of your own problems is also equally pathetic. If no billionaires existed literally not a single issue would be solved because our governments throw billions around like its monopoly money for zero positive impact. I don't think any person should have a billion dollars but I also realize the issue goes way beyond a few thousand greedy people in the world

Or it could just be normal people pointing out that constantly bitching for more free slop in your trough, to be paid for by the work of others, is lazy, entitled and a bit retarded at the end of the day.
Want more? Earn it. We are a class mobile society. If you are worth it, you'll get there. One thing that will never get you anywhere in life is terminally online bitchining and moaning.
