Hi all,

I'm seeing a lot of hate for capitalism here, and I'm wondering why that is and what the rationale behind it is. I'm pretty pro-capitalism myself, so I want to see the logic on the other side of the fence.

If this isn't the right forum for a political/economic discussion-- I'm happy to take this somewhere else.

Cheers!

Billionaires and their companies could at least pay their fair share in taxes.

At least? I'm convinced they have a moral obligation to do so much more than that.

All this talk is making me hungry for some reason

For some raw billionaire flesh?

Brined and slowcooked. Like a brisket, but fattier and more cathartic.

Raw? I could fit a small gutted adult in my smoker. 3 hours at 250 F mmmmmm.
