or oligarch, wait nvm how could i forget only the other has those, silly me how could i forget.
or oligarch
‘Money pervert’ also works
Wealth predator. It has more of that negative connotation it deserves
I like this but I can see them leaning into it and taking it as a badge of honor.
Corporation controller also seems apt, since that’s what their wealth usually is.
Meiser???
too humanizing
richoids
Property is robbery
I’m just gonna keep calling them “cunts” lol
Bless ya soul
Someone I strive to be, more money for the money pit, more food for the fridge, more education for my kids, more opportunities for the family, more money for charity
Too broad. Wealth hoarder describes everyone with a mortgage as well as grandma Sally and her pension plan. Anyone who saves for retirement is a wealth hoarder.
It’s not hoarding if it’s only a little. Everyone who actually earned it themselves through wage labor is not hoarding.
There are millions of people in the U.S. whose wealth comes from the increase in the property value of their family home. This is unearned wealth.
Of course, you’ll have a hard time convincing most people of that last bit. Which is why billionaires are the more popular enemy rather than the middle class.
And I fucking hate it. It just incentivizes not allowing more housing for those that need it because MuH PrOpErTy VaLuE!!
Fucking greed everywhere…
What if you just save money for retirement, not property?
You mean by investing the stock market? Or literal cash under the mattress?
Literal cash under mattress
Why not do that? Because of inflation, you lose money doing that. It’s the last resort of someone who has no other options for saving their money, such as low level drug dealers.
I had a browser extension for a while that replaced billionaire with oligarch, fun times
I think it isn’t going to be that effective a phrase. People don’t understand why having lots of money (hoarding wealth) is a bad thing, necessarily, and it sort of implies that, if they were to just spend it, it’d make the initial hoarding fine.
Gotta also focus on the fact that they essentially stole that money from workers through labor exploitation. The bare fact that they got the money to begin with is the problem, not just them holding onto it. If they were to spend it all on horrible capitalist enterprises rather than hoarding it, that’d be even worse. Even if they spent it all on “philanthropic” efforts, that’s still worse than the workers having their fair share and the government being able to actually have that money to spend on social programs through taxes.
Or just oligarch or power addict. In the eyes of most people, wealth is about luxury, material goods and fancy toys. Of course that’s part of it, but at a certain point, wealth is no longer about luxury and toys, it’s about power and having control over resources everyone else depends on.
“Wage slave master”?
+1 for parasite
