Rangers fans are unbelievable they still get 40,000 plus week in week out in division 3 even on a week night.

So, if you don't delete your Instagram account by Jan 15th, you leave your photos open to be sold by them for commercial use without you being paid or even notified of it.

People love to hate on the rich and successful, but it's not their fault they're lucky enough to have so much money.

They also do not have to give it away because you think that's right - you have the money, fucking enjoy it.

Rich people are greedy cunts - end of. I think $200,000 a year is more than enough - you can live unbelievably comfortably for that money. You don't need a $500 million jet, that is unbelievably selfish and how you can look yourself in the mirror after such a purchase is beyond me.

There was a motion that failed in Germany recently - after 40,000 euros a month earned, the rest is 100% taxable because your quality of life doesn't improve after that. I think that's a good start.

This is just shocking. Your conviction is all assumptions, and convictions as strong as yours should be based on more than just assumptions. You stereotype the rich as cunts, but on what basis are you making that claim? Also, if you are correct, the movement in Germany you mentioned and support must be considered an attempt at what could have been one of the worst cases of limitations on civil liberty in the developed part of the world.

You're preaching to the choir.

I couldn't disagree more. Just because someone has done well for themselves makes them a greedy cunt. If you work hard and get a great job that pays well then good luck to you. If you can affiord to pay 500 mil for a jet then good luck to you... It's also great news for the economy, meaning that will benefit others through him spending that money.

By that logic, you think every single chelsea player is a greedy cunt... Cancel that, every single upper league footballer.

Bill gates is a greedy cunt as well who has given BILLIONS to charity.

Richard branson is a greedy cunt???

And the motion in germany is BS and i am glad it failed! May as well bring back the soviet union and have mass socialism.

100% agree.

We have different political views, friends

And obviously some rich people are nice, but almost all are greedy.

Well...I am an anarcho-socilaist with emphasis on anarcho-syndicalism so..

[Hutcho 8,443]

Well...I am an anarcho-socilaist with emphasis on anarcho-syndicalism so..

I am an economist, and think anarchism is a load of BS...

So you are completely correct on the differing views...

Just saw Zuckerberg gave $500m to charity, but no one would know this if he didn't announce it.

[Hutcho 8,443]

tbf if i gave 500 mil to charity i would want people to know i did... Which i suppose isnt the right attitude towards charity but, they are giving the money away.

OMG WHAT AN ATTENTION WHOREEE HE'S MONEY'S WORTH NOTHING!!!11

On a serious note, though, I see nothing wrong with letting people know that you're doing good things. A lot of people think that's a wrong thing to do, but you deserve recognition when you excel at something and the same should apply when you do the honourable.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Yeah my point is, it's not everyone that announces like he did and people never know. So when they just see a rich person buy himself an expensive car or whatever, they'll say he could have given money to charity, when he probably already has done.

[Kieran. 6,317]

Nice.

In my opinion, just because he has the money, doesnt mean it is a clever thing to buy a half a billion plane (even though it is an A380). People often mistake the facts, no one is disputing he can do whatever he wants if his money but that doesnt not make it a right atitute.

I believe there is a limit amount of luxury that is acceptable. I dont see a problem when people have a 10m home, 2 or 3 500k cars, 40k watches, 100k jewerly, private plane or yatch, etc. I do have a problem when I see 300million yatchs, 100million mansions or 500million planes. How can some mombers defend it? How can someone take a look at his countries statistics and rating and still find it normal?

Of course he can do as he whishes, it is his "hard earned" money (LOL). For me, it is more of an attack towards our system, that allow some to live with nothing and others with billions. If we lived in a world with a very small percentage of poverty, I wouldnt be so worried with people who have billions, but we arent. What would change in his life if he had 2billions instead of 21? How much better would it be if we had some with 1-3 billions but everyone else with at least 10-20k?

Like I said, I dont expect all these people to donate all their money, but they could have a more humanitary feeling and buy a 200million plane and do a good will for his own people with the other 285. Also, I am not expecting them to donate 95% of their wealth (I wouldnt do it myself), but as a prince, he could take care of his people before taking care of the whores he will hire to have a wild party up high. Investing and atracting investidors so he can raise 100-200million to gove them better infraestructure and academic and professional opportunities, would be an amazing and vastly more rewarding act.

P.S: When I say it would be better if those billionaires had only 3billions, I am not expecting them to gather around and decide to give away all their money. I am saying that little by little we could achieve that level of monetary equalitarism.

P.S: By donation and investment, I mean sincerely will to help others. Not some bullshit parties to impress friends and finish business or fake donations to lower taxes.

Rich people spending money is a great thing. They buy 3 cars. The car dealership gets more money, the workers get an increase in salary if they are on commision or they get a bonus etc. They then have more disposable income and themselves decide to spend some more money. This carries on through a change and AD goes up causing lots of benefits in the economy. An equivilant of the government deciding to subsadise bulding works creating work etc. Obviously things don't exactly go like that and there are a number of other factors that have to be taken into account but my overall point is just because rich people decide to be "greedy" and buy themselves stuff doesn't necessarily mean its a bad thing for everyday people.
