At least Taylor Swift actually goes on tours and can be said to do real work. Bezos makes over $2,500 per second and does essentially fuck-all. Opinions about Taytay’s music aside at least she has a positive impact on local economies and her product is bought by choice.
Yeah but I feel like she’d be one of the first to defend her monetary status.
I’ve brought this up a lot lately but I liken her to the Beatles. The Beatles were being taxed at a 90+% rate. When they finally realized that they took it to court. The judge basically said “You were making so much money you didn’t even realize you were being taxed. We’re going to keep taxing you at the same rate and you can fuck off.”
I could see Taylor doing the same thing if her tax rates went up to the level they should’ve been from the beginning.
Haha I didn’t know about that Beatles story but mad respect for the courts on that one.
I agree, she’d probably throw a bit of a fit, but at least we can consider her “working class” in contrast to the “owner class”. Like you say she should still be taxed heavily because obviously but at least she technically works for that money.
Like if any of the mega-rich CEOs was actually judged properly on the ability to do their job it’d be pretty clear that most of their decisions are bad for everything but their bottom line or actually made by lower paid employees. But take the money out of the Taylor Swift equation and at least she’s still going on tour and making music, albeit with a lot of production help and the like, but she at least does something.
I’m still not sure which part of any of my comments said that she deserves to be obscenely wealthy to the point where she can have 150mil of real estate but go off I guess. I can see plenty of points where I agreed that she should have the tits taxed off of her, but…
I’m still waiting for someone to self-brand as an “Ethical Billionaire.” You just know someone will do it.
This was part of the issue people had with the “effective altruism” movement.
Nah that’d be to woke.
And we all know how billionaires react to wokeness.
Also I feel like Taylor Swift would be the one to pull that card.

She’s also part of the owning class. Her real estate net worth is 150 million. Fuck her.

Wow, awesome on that judge. TIL
So says every parasite though.
