We're all disgusted with #PeterThiel. Well, here's a nauseating look at #AlexKarp, the CEO of #Palantir:

yahoo.com/news/articles/politi…

He's not Thiel's sweaty druggie "LOOK THERE, THE ANTICHRIST!" nuttery, Karp is a typical sleazy story of giving up on his previous principles because money and power. Like Thiel was supposedly #libertarian once, Karp was apparently #progressive? Who knows

But now both work hard to make a dystopian #surveillanceState for #MAGA

Empty, craven ghouls

#Techbro assholes

Makes you wonder how many people's principles are just sort of fashion items that they wear when popular and then later discard.

We really need some kind of maximum wage to keep democracy alive. Otherwise the billionaires use their vast piles of cash to make themselves even richer, and bribe governments to do whatever they want.

@FediThing billionaires don't get their money from wages. If you were to put a cap on wages, you'd be limiting everyone but billionaires.

Yeah, good point. I know they piss around with loans and shares and things to pretend they have no money etc. Mainly meant "maximum wage" as a rhetorical contrast to "minimum wage" 🙂

Obvs whatever cheating mechanism billionaires use for stashing their income, it needs to be limited to a maximum amount. No one should control more than a certain amount of money is what I was trying to get across 😁

@FediThing We need to have a ceiling for the maximum wealth and power and a floor for the minimum where people can't go below

@FediThing Don't know if it is clever but I feel countries that figure this out do much better

@rzeta0 @PaulWermer
Republican US presidents used to have a top rate of income tax of 90%.

Conservative UK governments used to have a top rate of income tax of 95%.

It used to be acceptable to have a cap on earnings, and countries did very well in those times with plenty of economic growth.
