#Billionaire

Great to see Irish artists taking a principled stand against genocide and the attempt by billionaires to shut up those who oppose it. The groundswell of support underlines the need to #StopTheGame. It's unconscionable that Ireland would play Israel in two weeks time. https://t.co/PWD4uVi2K4 #StopTheGame #Ireland #ArtAgainstGenocide #IE #IL

Speak up for Palestine and the few billionaires controlling the economy will have: - Your concert cancelled. - You arrested or sanctioned by US gov. - Your voice criminalized. While public money is diverted to fund a genocide. But we, the People, are not backing down. #StandWithPalestine #FreeSpeech #Resist #PS #US #PA

SANCTIONS DEADLOCK OVER USMANOV France has joined Slovakia in pressing for Russian-Uzbek billionaire Alisher Usmanov to be removed from the EU sanctions list. According to the Financial Times and Euronews, Paris linked the move to efforts to secure the release of French citizens https://t.co/HTWmHvAIL1 #Sanctions #Usmanov #EU #FR #SK #RU #UZ

Couldn't be more proud of @aaronrowemusic for having the principle and courage to stand selflessly with Palestine & humanity against Israel's genocide and the billionaires who support their crimes. He has upheld Ireland's proud tradition of standing against colonialism & Empire. #FreePalestine #StandWithHumanity #Colonialism #PS #IL #IE

Veres Tibor, Hungary's second richest billionaire, has been accused of bribery in connection with a corruption case in Óbuda, which involves multiple politicians, while he maintains his innocence and plans to challenge the allegations. #korrupció #vesztegetés #VeresTibor

Disgracefully, dara centres owned by tech billionaires are hoovering up a quarter of Ireland's electricity and driving up energy bills for ordinary people but are paying half the price for their electricity that ordinary households are paying! Our proposal will reverse that. #EnergyCrisis #TechBillionaires #Ireland #IE

Si les milliardaires tenaient vraiment à régler les problèmes du monde dans lequel on vit ils auraient pas besoin d'event caritatif médiatisés pour le faire A priori ils ont tous les moyens d'acheter une corde #billionaires #solidarité #justice社会

@Paraskworld @Actu2Twitch après le gosse il crève de faim à cause du milliardaire qui exploite ses salariés et récoltes les bénéfices #JusticeSociale #Exploitation #Billionaires

They close the sale at $5.5 billion. Richard and his wife Kate walk away with over $660 million, and they fly home in their own helicopter. #Sale #Billionaires #HelicopterRide #Therearenospecificcountriesmentionedinthetweet.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

In 2027, there will be no more billionaires! (translated)

Billionaires, those who give you lessons if you drive a diesel, are not afraid of rising sea levels due to climate warming. They are buying islands in bulk and transforming them into bunkers. For example, 37 billionaires control at least 218,000 acres. (translated)

The Deadly Seduction of Democratic Socialism Young people are being urged to support “democratic” socialism—ideas blamed for tens of millions of deaths in the last century—promising that consent will make it work this time. But consent cannot make an economic system wise. A ballot cannot set the right prices for wages, goods, or services, nor prevent shortages, repression, or famine. This isn’t fringe. New York elected Zohran Mamdani, who says there should be no billionaires and backs rent freezes, state-run grocery stores, free CUNY, and higher taxes. Polling shows strong support for socialism and communism among Americans under 30. The core error is believing resources can be taken from creators and transferred without losing the knowledge that made them productive. Mao’s China illustrates the outcome: land reform dispossessed and killed landowners, production collapsed as local expertise was treated as an enemy, and grain seizures during the Great Leap Forward worsened a catastrophic famine. The lesson: destroying incentives, property rights, and local knowledge destroys production itself. Envy is often disguised as justice. Communist regimes cultivated resentment and turned grievance into political energy, making societies less focused on creating wealth and more focused on making others lose it. Even when central planners tried to subordinate families to the state, people preserved knowledge through markets, private plots, and community practice. Civilization isn’t a machine bureaucrats can redesign. Take away property and you don’t automatically transfer knowledge—abundance can vanish with it. Redistribution may promise equality, but if it destroys the people, incentives, and knowledge that produce abundance, the result is a hungry one.

Dolly Parton could have been a billionaire like Rowling but instead of funding anti-LGBTQ lawsuits she funded literacy programs. She helped generations of kids read instead of harming trans kids & fueling anti LGBTQ causes like JK Rowling. Dolly was very supportive of LGBTQ ppl https://t.co/94f6Wf9t80 #DollyParton #LGBTQ #Literacy #Therearenospecificcountrymentionsinthetweetprovided.

On va répéter plus fort pour que les médias du MILLIARDAIRE Bolloré entendent mieux. Oui, les milliardaires sont des nuisibles. Les milliardaires produisent de la récession économique : pour chaque point de pourcentage supplémentaire versé aux 20 % les plus riches d’un pays, le PIB de ce pays diminue de 0,08 %. Les milliardaires ne créent pas d’emplois : les grandes entreprises, entre 2012 et 2022, auraient supprimé environ 173 000 postes. Sur la même période, les microentreprises, les petites et moyennes entreprises, et les entreprises de taille intermédiaire ont créé 1,9 million d’emplois. Les milliardaires préfèrent rémunérer les actionnaires plutôt que recruter : pour chaque euro consacré à créer de l’emploi, LVMH en a consacré 239€ à rémunérer ses actionnaires. Les milliardaires sont riches grâce aux cadeaux fiscaux qu’on leur offre : les 378 ménages les plus riches ne paient que 2 % d’impôt sur leur « revenu économique », d’après l’Institut des politiques publiques. Les milliardaires n’ont aucun mérite : 80 % de la richesse des milliardaires français est due à l’héritage. Les milliardaires n’investissent pas : d’après le président du comité d’évaluation de la suppression de l’ISF, « les entreprises dont les actionnaires étaient jusqu’en 2017 assujetties à l’ISF n’ont pas investi davantage ensuite ». Les milliardaires ne financent pas l’économie réelle : 96 % des transactions qui s’opèrent sur les marchés financiers concernent des activités purement spéculatives. Oui, les milliardaires sont des nuisibles et en 2027, nous mettrons fin à l'ère de l'ultra-richesse avec @JLMelenchon ! #Billionaires #EconomicJustice #WealthInequality

A government that works for people not corporations won against big money once more. Congratulations @AngieNixon!! Nixon had $975,000 going into the primary, her opponent Vindman $16.3m. The winning formula: Affordability, good jobs & making billionaires pay. It’s unstoppable. https://t.co/QiUhzWNADy #GovernmentForThePeople #CampaignFinance #AffordableLiving #Therearenospecificcountriesmentionedinthetweet.Thus #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

The billionaire class is organised. It’s time we did too — before it’s too late. 📚 Order ANTI-FASCIST ECONOMICS today. Out in October: https://t.co/18xcwqkNWD #AntiFascistEconomics #BillionaireClass #Organize #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.

In California, it’s the people versus the billionaires: Silicon Valley is throwing everything it’s got at fighting a wealth tax. It shows why oligarchy is fundamentally incompatible with democracy as I argue in Anti-fascist Economics. Just look at who’s lining up to oppose #WealthTax #Oligarchy #Democracy #US

I managed to prevent Thomas Piketty hanging up on me and keep him on the line long enough to hear about his proposal to tax billionaires to curb climate change and criticisms of Ireland’s economic model https://t.co/ZoeTEuiAGe #TaxTheRich #ClimateAction #Economics #IE

Rep. Ro Khanna: Voters want a Democratic Party that stands up for the working class over the billionaire class. Billionaires & their cronies: How dare you stand up for the will of the people against us, Ro!? “Capital Won’t Save Democracy”(Anti-fascist Economics, 10/2026). #WorkingClass #DemocraticParty #BillionaireClass #Therearenospecificcountriesmentionedinthetweet.
