Nah, he should just die.
Why not both?
but first he pays!
He needs to be put in prison and await trial for treason. He's a terrorist traitor who has betrayed everyone. Sure would be a shame if he got Luigi's.
Palantir boy has now put you on a list. Congratulations it's an honour.
BTW, anyone who simply thinks that a wealth tax wouldn't work because the billionaires would all hide their money or whatever; Peter Thiel just bet $3 million that you're wrong.
Pfff only "million"? To fight a "billionaire" tax? Peter... Peter Peter.... You're going to have to fight fire with fire at scale. Or maybe you're just not as clever a billionaire as you say you are.
If he were really against it he would have donated a billion.
He's very clever, just greedy. He completely owns JD Vance, aka the next president when Trump dies in office. He's an apostle of Curtis Yarvin, and is actively destroying the United States as we know it to create a technofedualist "network state" setup. It sounds crazy, look it up yourself.
Here's hoping that he doesn't have any impact at all.
Good idea. 5% isn't an appropriate amount. It needs to be at least a 101% tax on anything over a billion applied each year.
More wealth favoritism! I'll take a one time 5% tax any day 😂
How does one catch and eat a peter thiel?
