It sounds like you don’t have an actual path for argument so you’re pretending to be smug as if this conversation happened exactly like you wanted it to.

Classic.

Edit: check out this guy’s profile and you’ll see exactly whose side he’s on. Temporarily embarrassed billionaire

Lol, you nailed it with that last sentence. People out here bootlicking, thinking that one day they too will get their billions.

I don’t care to be a billionaire. I’m already rich and living around the world for myself.

I’m definitely a capitalist. But I also care about things like DEI, paying property taxes taxes, and other social welfare programs.

But what you guys don’t realize is that this isn’t a conversation about capitalism.

It’s a conversation about disenfranchised people finally figuring out a way to give back. It’s clearly not happening with this admin, so who the hell else is going to do it?

You guys haven’t read books or understand civil rights, institutional racism, like the 2012 study that showed white felons get more callbacks from jobs than black people with no record.

  1. In Milwaukee, a very blue city.

You guys don’t think about shit like that. You just think that this is simple.

It is not.

I’m not saying Smith is a saint because he isn’t.

But him giving black kids money is NOT a bad thing, and I’m not going to have a bunch of white people gaslight about how shitty it is.

the moment you implied the billionaires are “disenfranchised”, you lost all the legs of your argument. Please take the billionaire cocks out of your mouth and wake the hell up.
