'The Young Turks' commentator Hasan Piker explains why 'billionaire' is a dirty word and warned that a more equitable redistribution of wealth is coming, "by policy or by pitchforks."
HASAN PIKER, THE YOUNG TURKS: Technological advances have rendered globalism an unstoppable force so we have to adapt to it. One immediate way of doing that is through drastic wealth redistribution and that starts with banning billionaires. Part of the point of having a society, of having government is to "promote the general welfare." Welfare -- it's literally right there in the preamble in the Constitution.
Yet for some reason, we've been propagandized into believing that the purpose of the government is to clear the path for individuals to acquire and hoard ungodly amounts of wealth, regardless of the consequences to the rest of us or the health of the society as a whole. …
Look, this may scare you. But a more equitable distribution of wealth is coming, whether it is by policy or by pitchforks. So it's up to you guys. Which one is it going to be?

I’m sorry to disappoint this ‘Young Jerk’ but he’s not going to find any wealth at my house to redistribute.
And what he DOES find is going to make him hurt. ;)
Democrat Billionaires will be exempt.
Of course.
Well, his last name is pretty apt.
Piker just posted his “virtue job wanted poster” that’s all.
This wouldn’t be happening if these Millennials, Gen X, Gen Y or Gen Z people were religious. Look for them not to care about the 10 Commandments.......not even a little.
Make that a “Better Paying Virtue Job Wanted” poster. Ha!
My “pitchfork” has 30-round magazines and pitches hay at 2300 fps.
So start with Bernie. He has made millions and never worked a day in his life. He should give it all away.
Like the mad critters that they are.
I look forward to him using a pitchfork while I will be using a 30-06
Suppressed .22LR on a busy sidewalk. Gotta make sure its a beautiful day.
Who?
Your comment reads like Atlas Shrugged.
You’re onto it. Piker and the Turks are part of the Brand New Congress. The brain child of Saikat Chakrabarti. Chakrabarti is the brains behind Ocasio-Cortez and a serious threat to establishment Democrats. The Brand New Congress goal is to replace establishment liberals with the ultra progressive.
In combination with rule 45.

Somehow I don’t think these “young Turks” care what the bible says. The koran maybe...
Have at it.
Ping, maybe.
