"Rich" isn't an immutable characteristic. Feel free to stop being rich before it is done for you.

you can still have bigotry with non immutable characteristics. ableism, fatphobia...

but here, I'll call it greedism where we hate the clinically greedy.

Racial slurs intrinsically target immutable characteristics. If you want to stop being the subject of racism you cannot simply change your race.

Conversely, however, if you wish to stop being the subject of critique from hoarding wealth you can simply change your wealth.

I am 100% in agreement, that any slurs towards the wealthy isn't a "racial slur".

Seems like my previous comment didn't make it clear enough, but I still think we need a slur for those cunts,.not a racial slur, but one nonetheless.

They are free to redistribute their stolen hoard if they don't want to be called by that slur.

Aha! So they are an alien race.

This is how the kulaks are misremembered, as an ethnicity, not as exploiters of their fellow peasants.

If being rich were a race, I'd be racist. And I'm talking real wacky Confederate flag on the porch level racism. Grandma from Europe talking about Roma people level racism.

from the people working hard to equate antizionism to antisemitism.

He will learn over time that growing a tax base is a winner and raising taxes is a loser … and that the hard-working 1% are allies, not enemies.

It has been proven, time and time again, that cutting taxes does not grow the tax base.

Maybe the results seem contradicting because the taxes haven’t been cut enough. Just give them subsidies for their contribution

Being rich is not a race.
