  • Inflation makes goods aka stocks increase value, which makes rich fucks that live on loans be able to then ask another loan for a bigger amount to pay off the loan from before just because their assets passively rose in value.

    It’s the scam by which the ultra rich live by doing absolutely nothing while the rest of us that are saving for a house or whatever see our savings year by year diminished.

    Yeah fuck that.












  • It’s more nuanced though. Here’s how rich people use charities to gain wealth:

    Rich person has tons of money that would be taxed if bill Y passes. Rich person creates a charity and donated 20% of what they would had to pay to the IRS to the charity, with that money the charity uses half for good causes and half is given to X lobby company, which then lobbies politicians to avoid passing that bill.

    In the end, the rich person saved 80% of what they would had to pay.

    Yeah, 10% went to good causes but imagine what the society could afford if 100% went through instead of 0.

    This is a very rough outline of how they do it, but the summary is that they use charities to donate to lobbies while skipping taxes on the donation itself.





  • It’s really sad that the only alternatives we have are PP (ultra corrupt, aligned with rightwing policies that help corporations with little social movements bar none) and PSOE (corrupt, overspending in movements that will help society, but pocketing a lot of corrupt money on the way). I’m not even mentioning Vox, and Podemos was bullied into nonexistence with pressure from all sides.

    For God’s sake, everyone forgot how the fucking president was in the Panama papers (M. Rajoy, aka mister X) and he didn’t have to resign, let alone lose elections?

    At least this happened 2 years from elections, let’s see if the govt is able to pick up the good wave it was having lately. As corrupt as they are, at least they spend way more on society than the alternative (not counting Podemos/Sumar because for now they have 0 chance of winning).
